The great Christian graces are radiant with happiness. Faith, hope, charity, there is no sadness in them; and if penitence makes the heart sad, penitence belongs to the sinner, not to the saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The devil tempts us not--'tis we tempt him, Reckoning his skill with opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58897]]></link><description><![CDATA[The devil tempts us not--'tis we tempt him, Reckoning his skill with opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people.
