Here is the righteousness, not as a fixed and abstract ideal, but in a living human person. The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65788]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis light translateth night; 'tis inspiration Expounds experience; 'tis the west explains  The east; 'tis time unfolds Eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9139]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis light translateth night; 'tis inspiration Expounds experience; 'tis the west explains  The east; 'tis time unfolds Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a woman rebels against high-heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12973]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a woman rebels against high-heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts: but if he will be content to begin ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5450]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts: but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no regrets because I did everything by the book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28865]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no regrets because I did everything by the book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We let ourselves down in the opening 20 minutes.
