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[Formula for success: Rise early, work hard, strike oil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Formula for success: Rise early, work hard, strike oil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music hath charm to soothe a savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music hath charm to soothe a savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is surprising, in the welter of questions that one gets at (AGMs), how few actually relate to the performance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15967]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is surprising, in the welter of questions that one gets at (AGMs), how few actually relate to the performance of the company, or the decisions taken by the board in particular areas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's the humour of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20065]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's the humour of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let my hand, This hand, lie in your own--my own true friend;  Aprile!

It became quickly and readily apparent how cruel heretical teachings are and how prevalent the heresies are in contemporary times. Victims of these teachings have been encouraged to either to escape the world and their basic humanity into some form of flight and death or to use religion to undergird and isolate further their own self-centered self from the need to be loved and to love...   The conviction that heresy is cruel has given me a growing awe of and respect for orthodoxy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever the storm carries me, I go a willing guest. [Lat., Quo me cumque rapit tempestas deferor hospes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever the storm carries me, I go a willing guest. [Lat., Quo me cumque rapit tempestas deferor hospes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gentleman puts me in mind of an old hen which persists in setting after her eggs are taken away ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34930]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gentleman puts me in mind of an old hen which persists in setting after her eggs are taken away]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not often that an opinion is worth expressing, which cannot take care of itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44940]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not often that an opinion is worth expressing, which cannot take care of itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The point to remember is that what the Government gives it must first take away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18025]]></link><description><![CDATA[The point to remember is that what the Government gives it must first take away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If man is not made for God, why is he not happy except in God?
