Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imitation is the sincerest flattery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imitation is the sincerest flattery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oft in the tranquil hour of night, When stars illume the sky,  I gaze upon each orb of light, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oft in the tranquil hour of night, When stars illume the sky,  I gaze upon each orb of light,   And wish that thou wert by.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who stand for nothing fall for anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have declared that Syria is innocent of this crime, and I am ready to follow up action to bring ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29895]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have declared that Syria is innocent of this crime, and I am ready to follow up action to bring to trial any Syrian who could be proved by concrete evidence to have had connection with this crime,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I almost die for food, and let me have it! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13257]]></link><description><![CDATA[I almost die for food, and let me have it!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66632]]></link><description><![CDATA[One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything that can be invented has been invented. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything that can be invented has been invented.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only real training for leadership is leadership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24415]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only real training for leadership is leadership.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kiss me and you will see how important I am. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23861]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kiss me and you will see how important I am.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57159]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cats were put into the world to disprove the dogma that all things were created to serve man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cats were put into the world to disprove the dogma that all things were created to serve man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649   Salt, when dissolved in water, may disappear, but it does not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649   Salt, when dissolved in water, may disappear, but it does not cease to exist.
