At the heart of Christianity there is a mystery, but it is not the mystery of intellectual appreciation; it the mystery of redemption.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Optimism is the opium of the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Optimism is the opium of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will be able to do quite a bit from home, and when I commute, it won't be bad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37801]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will be able to do quite a bit from home, and when I commute, it won't be bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16184]]></link><description><![CDATA[What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus There is a stream, whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6755]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus There is a stream, whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God; Life, love, and joy still gliding through, And watering our divine abode: That sacred stream, thine holy word, That all our raging fear controls; Sweet peace thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was disappointing.
