They are expressions of man's separation from God, as the ultimate good, meaning, and end of human existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin,  Mein Herz ist schwer.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19047]]></link><description><![CDATA[My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin,  Mein Herz ist schwer.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough. -Joe E.
