If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad luck there, Ricky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad luck there, Ricky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I decided that I would be one of the biggest new names; and I actually had some little fancy business ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43671]]></link><description><![CDATA[I decided that I would be one of the biggest new names; and I actually had some little fancy business cards printed up to announce it, "Count Basie.
