And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We demand guaranteed rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60027]]></link><description><![CDATA[We demand guaranteed rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I probably use it seven days a week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37161]]></link><description><![CDATA[I probably use it seven days a week.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I quickly laugh at everything, for fear of having to cry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24184]]></link><description><![CDATA[I quickly laugh at everything, for fear of having to cry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As seniors, we've been through two coaches.
