For there is no doubt that he who made us and endued our souls with a desire of immortality and so large a capacity of happiness, does understand very well by what ways and means to make us happy, and hath in readiness proper exercises and employments for that state, and every way more fitted to make us happy than any condition or employment in this world is suitable to a temporal happiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I found golf was too time consuming, but I did enjoy it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65494]]></link><description><![CDATA[I found golf was too time consuming, but I did enjoy it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bottom line is they knocked them down in the fourth quarter when they needed to.

This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Les Miserables.
