The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quiet is what home would be without children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quiet is what home would be without children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People think of the inventor as a screwball, but no one ever asks the inventor what he thinks of other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9342]]></link><description><![CDATA[People think of the inventor as a screwball, but no one ever asks the inventor what he thinks of other people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That wife is an enemy to her husband who is given in marriage against her will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50892]]></link><description><![CDATA[That wife is an enemy to her husband who is given in marriage against her will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26947]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blond in a red dress can do without introductions -- but not without a bodyguard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2835]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blond in a red dress can do without introductions -- but not without a bodyguard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With electricity we were wired into a new world, for electricity brought the radio, a "crystal set" and with enough ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13698]]></link><description><![CDATA[With electricity we were wired into a new world, for electricity brought the radio, a "crystal set" and with enough ingenuity, one could tickle the crystal with a cat's whisker and pick up anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13698</guid></item></channel></rss>
