His existence is both objectively and subjectively evident. It is necessary logically because our assumption of order, design, and rationality rests upon it. It is necessary morally because there is no explanation for the shape of morality apart from it. It is necessary emotionally because the human experience requires an immediate and ultimate environment. It is necessary personally because the exhaustion of all material possibilities still cannot give satisfaction to the heart. The deepest proof for God's existence, apart from history, is just life itself. God has created man in his image, and men cannot elude the implications of this fact. Everywhere their identity pursues them. Ultimately, there is no escape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labour itself is but a sorrowful song, The protest of the weak against the strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Labour itself is but a sorrowful song, The protest of the weak against the strong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2798]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't play too well down there.

Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44976]]></link><description><![CDATA[For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From lowest place when virtuous things proceed, The place is dignified by the doer's deed. -All 's Well that Ends ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55721]]></link><description><![CDATA[From lowest place when virtuous things proceed, The place is dignified by the doer's deed. -All 's Well that Ends Well.
