For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The commerce of the world is conducted by the strong, and usually it operates against the weak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5069]]></link><description><![CDATA[The commerce of the world is conducted by the strong, and usually it operates against the weak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps Providence by some happy change will restore those things to their proper places. [Lat., Deus haec fortasse benigna  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps Providence by some happy change will restore those things to their proper places. [Lat., Deus haec fortasse benigna  Reducet in sedem vice.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy depreciates the genius of the great Homer. [Lat., Ingenium magni detractat livor Homeri.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Envy depreciates the genius of the great Homer. [Lat., Ingenium magni detractat livor Homeri.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our play wasn't acceptable.
