If a Livie or a Guicciardine, or such extensive and voluminous authors had had this story in hand, God must have made another world, to have made them a library to hold their books, of the making of this world. Into what wire would they have drawn out this earth! Into what leaf-gold would they have beat out these heavens! It may assist our conjecture herein, to consider, that amongst those men, who proceed with a sober modesty and limitation in their writing, & make a conscience not to clog the world with unnecessary books, yet the volumes which are written by them, upon the beginning of Genesis, are scarce less than infinite. God did no more but say, Let this & this be done; and Moses doth no more but say, that upon God's saying it was done. God required not Nature to help him to do it; Moses required not Reason to help him believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42860]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty once lost, never returns into favour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty once lost, never returns into favour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one is exempt from taking nonsense; the misfortune is to do it solemnly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44612]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one is exempt from taking nonsense; the misfortune is to do it solemnly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child kicks its legs rhythmically through excess, not absence, of life.

Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which we are not permitted to have we delight in; that which we can have is disregarded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51187]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which we are not permitted to have we delight in; that which we can have is disregarded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never bring the problem solving stage into the decision making stage.Otherwise, you surrender yourself to the problem rather than the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never bring the problem solving stage into the decision making stage.Otherwise, you surrender yourself to the problem rather than the solution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14188</guid></item></channel></rss>
