All your insight only leads you to the knowledge that it is not in yourselves that you will discover the true and the good. The philosophers promised them to you, and have not been able to keep their promises... Your principal maladies are pride, which cuts you off from God, and sensuality, which binds you to the earth; and they have done nothing but foster at least one of these maladies. If they have given you God for your object, it has only been to pander to your pride; they have made you think that you were like Him and resembled Him by your nature. And those who have grasped the vanity of such a pretension have cast you down into the other abyss by making you believe that your nature was like that of the beasts of the field, and have led you to seek your good in lust, which is the lot of animals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God made woman beautiful and foolish; beautiful, that man might love her; and foolish, that she might love him ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26989]]></link><description><![CDATA[God made woman beautiful and foolish; beautiful, that man might love her; and foolish, that she might love him]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65079]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love a ballad in print o' life, for then we are sure they are true. -The Winter's Tale.

The great creative acts and significant turning-points were recognized, either by the Church or by its historian, as determined by the Spirit. The Spirit confirmed and preserved the community from the outset, by the descent at Pentecost (Acts 2:4). The extension of the Gospel beyond Judea and the first mission to the Gentiles were commanded and approved by the Spirit (Acts 8:29, 10:19, 44, 13:2, 4). Paul, on his journeys, was led by the Spirit (Acts 16:6, 7). He himself was especially conscious that his whole ministry was inspired by the Holy Ghost (Rom. 15:18,19). All the apostles were conspicuously men of the Spirit.
