Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wisely chosen illustration is almost essential to fasten the truth upon the ordinary mind, and no teacher can afford ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25341]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wisely chosen illustration is almost essential to fasten the truth upon the ordinary mind, and no teacher can afford to neglect this part of his preparation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget that no military leader has ever become great without audacity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never forget that no military leader has ever become great without audacity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends, Romans countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friends, Romans countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60596]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes a long time to understand nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27645]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes a long time to understand nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yeah, I played center field. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yeah, I played center field.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(The delay) has come from chambers, but that is the only guidance I have.

The New Testament [again, and notoriously, in the person of St Paul] assumes that there will be places other than the bedroom in which men and women assume consciously differentiated roles. They will do so in the affairs of the home, in which the wife is to "submit" to her husband (Eph. 5:22ff) as head. They will do so even outside the context of family life, since man is "head" of woman in some sense; in quite another context, when the Church is at worship (I Cor. 11:2ff). In order that St Paul should not be misjudged, we must note--(a) that this relational ordering of male and female presupposes a fundamental generic equality (I Cor. 11:1 ff); and (b) that the "submission" of the wife is a special case of a "submission" of all Christians to one another, and complements a husband's love that is to be expressed in self-sacrifice (Eph. 5:2lff, 25ff). The apostle is not an apologist for male tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2259]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reasons of the poore weigh not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49905]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reasons of the poore weigh not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The amount of time required to complete a government project is precisely equal to the length of time already spent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48388]]></link><description><![CDATA[The amount of time required to complete a government project is precisely equal to the length of time already spent on it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My brother wouldn't let me just throw it back to him.
