If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is a symptom, a way of cloaking and expressing feelings too awful to experience directly — hurt, bitterness, grief, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is a symptom, a way of cloaking and expressing feelings too awful to experience directly — hurt, bitterness, grief, and, mostof all, fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three sleepless nights I passed in sounding on, Through words and things, a dim and perilous way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three sleepless nights I passed in sounding on, Through words and things, a dim and perilous way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is really good news.
