And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is love in search of a word. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is love in search of a word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739   There never was a pain that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739   There never was a pain that befell a man, no frustration or discouragement, however insignificant, that, transferred to God, did not affect God endlessly more than man, and was not infinitely more contrary to Him. So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In death a hero, as in life a friend!. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11266]]></link><description><![CDATA[In death a hero, as in life a friend!.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from the statues that are in all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43412]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from the statues that are in all the other museums.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[King Kong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29223]]></link><description><![CDATA[King Kong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4328]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...

Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who talks much cannot talk well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25544]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who talks much cannot talk well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is, is a clue to the universe. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60207]]></link><description><![CDATA[In some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is, is a clue to the universe.
