For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; itis the spirit behind your actions and words ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21875]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; itis the spirit behind your actions and words that announces your innerstate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the least possible amount of hissing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still working on a number that would give us a high degree of confidence in our sample, but a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41840]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're still working on a number that would give us a high degree of confidence in our sample, but a minimum would probably be 1,000 samples across the state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn... and change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13554]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn... and change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A name, it has more than nominal worth, And belongs to good or bad luck at birth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50154]]></link><description><![CDATA[A name, it has more than nominal worth, And belongs to good or bad luck at birth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health and mony goe farre. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Health and mony goe farre.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where does virgin wool come from?
