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[The new constitution established a president with powers unheard of in the republican United States.

Some even wanted him to be king, a thought that GW found ludicrous: What astonishing changes a few years are capable of producing! I am told that even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror. From thinking proceeds speaking, thence to acting is often but a single step. But how irrevocable and tremendous! What a triumph for the advocates of despotism to find that we are incapable of governing ourselves, and that systems founded on the basis of equal liberty are merely ideal & fallacious!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This world is nothing except it tend to another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49969]]></link><description><![CDATA[This world is nothing except it tend to another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, we started about 24 years ago demonstrating corn-husk weaving at the Boone County Conservatory and, well, one thing leads ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, we started about 24 years ago demonstrating corn-husk weaving at the Boone County Conservatory and, well, one thing leads to another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an excellent problem.

But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24218]]></link><description><![CDATA[A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24218</guid></item></channel></rss>
