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[The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the actual infinite, even though ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20817]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the actual infinite, even though it in its highest form has created and sustains us, and in its secondary transfinite forms occurs all around us and even inhabits our minds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56734]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have always had profound ties, of respect and mutual cooperation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28243]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have always had profound ties, of respect and mutual cooperation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God heals, and the Doctor takes the Fees ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12612]]></link><description><![CDATA[God heals, and the Doctor takes the Fees]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's the smartest basketball player I've certainly seen.
