Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness. It never seems to occur to them to look for the cause in mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The risk to this new forecast is down, not up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37715]]></link><description><![CDATA[The risk to this new forecast is down, not up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19932]]></link><description><![CDATA[There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food. Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Superior strength is found in the long run to lie with those who had right on their side. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Superior strength is found in the long run to lie with those who had right on their side.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would have rather finished the match properly, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41744]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would have rather finished the match properly,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27166]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Similarities create friendship's while differences hold them together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Similarities create friendship's while differences hold them together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The umpires are closer than we are.
