For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So many people walk around with a meaningless life.

After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be dismayed at good-byes.
