Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66666]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
