His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am nothing and to nothing tend, On earth I nothing have and nothing claim,  Man's noblest works must ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62137]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am nothing and to nothing tend, On earth I nothing have and nothing claim,  Man's noblest works must have one common end,   And nothing crown the tablet of his name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better lose a jest than a friend ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better lose a jest than a friend]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None can less afford to delay than the aged sinner.
