It was wonderful to touch one of them and think, Perhaps the Apostle Paul or one of the martyrs touched this as they passed. But how much more wonderful is it to think that we have, for our own use, the very same sword our Lord used when the Devil attacked Him.

So once more I say, let us not expect defeat but victory. Let us take fast hold and keep fast hold of our sword, and we shall win in any assault of the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sky full of silent suns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56519]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sky full of silent suns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is the justice that examines all offenders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is the justice that examines all offenders.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If suicide be supposed a crime, it is only cowardice can impel us to it.
