God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. 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[Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't believe in intuition.

I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. All the beauty and truth which I had discovered had come to me as a reflection of his beauty, but I had kept my eyes fixed on the reflection and was always looking at myself. But God had brought me to the point at which I was compelled to turn away from the reflection, both of myself and of the world which could only mirror my own image. During that night the mirror had been broken, and I had felt abandoned because I could no longer gaze upon the image of my own reason and the finite world which it knew. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The question is, why are politicians so eager to be president?

And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice.
