But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much like a subtle spider, which doth sit In middle of her web, which spreadeth wide:  If aught do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much like a subtle spider, which doth sit In middle of her web, which spreadeth wide:  If aught do touch the utmost thread of it,   She feels it instantly on every side.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to make anything fool- proof because fools are so ingenious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16397]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible to make anything fool- proof because fools are so ingenious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're very happy with the document that the seven states have agreed on, and we're optimistic that the Department of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40443]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're very happy with the document that the seven states have agreed on, and we're optimistic that the Department of Interior will adopt the states' position.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fruit derived from labor is the sweetest of all pleasures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23944]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fruit derived from labor is the sweetest of all pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 'outsider' who knows nothing of the mixture of tradition, conviction, honest difference, and hidden resentment, that lies behind the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7682]]></link><description><![CDATA[The 'outsider' who knows nothing of the mixture of tradition, conviction, honest difference, and hidden resentment, that lies behind the divisions of the Christian Church sees clearly the advantage of a united Christian front and cannot see why the Churches cannot 'get together'. The problem is doubtless complicated, for there are many honest differences held with equal sincerity, but it is only made insoluble because the different denominations are (possibly unconsciously) imagining God to be Roman or Anglican or Baptist or Methodist or Presbyterian or what have you. If they could see beyond their little inadequate god, and glimpse the reality of God, they might even laugh a little and perhaps weep a little. The result would be a unity that actually does transcend differences, instead of ignoring them with public politeness and private contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62069]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:  In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By this leek, I will most horribly revenge: I eat and eat, I swear. -King Henry V.
