If I were to give it to you, you would think yourself of some importance, you would fancy that you had gained something very great. Because you asked for it, you have it. But take care to make good use of it. Before you had it, you were humble; now that you have begun to be rich you despise the poor. What kind of a good is that which only makes you worse? For worse you are, since you were bad already. And that it would make you worse you knew not; hence you asked it of Me. I gave it to you, and I proved you; you have found -- and you have found out! Ask of Me better things than these, greater things than these. Ask of Me spiritual things. Ask of Me Myself!".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems the storm is not going to be as strong as we feared and that was enough to take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38864]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems the storm is not going to be as strong as we feared and that was enough to take some of the selling pressure off stocks today.

But men make themselves so unworthy of it that it is only just that God should refuse to some because of the hardness of heart what He gives to others from a compassion that they do not deserve. If He had wanted to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened, He could have done so by revealing Himself to them so obviously that they could not have doubted the truth of His Being -- just as He will appear at the last day with such a clap of thunder and such an upheaval of nature that the dead will revive and the blindest will see. It is not in this way, however, that He willed to appear at His gentle coming: because so many men had made themselves unworthy of His mercy, He willed to leave them deprived of the good which they did not desire. And so it would not have been fair for Him to have appeared in an obviously divine manner, absolutely capable of convincing all men. But also it would not have been fair for Him to appear in a manner so hidden that even those who were sincerely seeking Him should not be able to recognize Him... So He has tempered His knowledge, by giving marks of Himself which were visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This was Shakespeare's form; Who walked in every path of human life,  Felt every passion; and to all mankind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55306]]></link><description><![CDATA[This was Shakespeare's form; Who walked in every path of human life,  Felt every passion; and to all mankind   Doth now, will ever, that experience yield    Which his own genius only could acquire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43683]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life.
