They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15101]]></link><description><![CDATA[After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the 1930s people went to see films not just to be entertained or to escape the dreariness of their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43364]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the 1930s people went to see films not just to be entertained or to escape the dreariness of their workaday lives but to gain an education, to see the world, to learn table manners and interior decoration, how to dress, kiss, to laugh and cry, how to react to tragedy and happiness, how to be brave, evil and good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn so many things from golf- how to suffer, for instance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17810]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn so many things from golf- how to suffer, for instance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I couldn't remember when I had been so disappointed.
