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[When a man is out of sight, it is not too long before he is out of mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/177]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man is out of sight, it is not too long before he is out of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to have an enemy, one must be somebody.
