Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was perfect tennis weather. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38654]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was perfect tennis weather.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our charity begins at home, And mostly ends where it begins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our charity begins at home, And mostly ends where it begins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes that they had taken: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16102]]></link><description><![CDATA[For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes that they had taken: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon.
