To the Christian his own temperament and experience, as mere fact, and as merely his, are of no value or importance whatsoever: he will deal with them, if at all, only because they are the medium through which, or the position from which, something universally profitable appeared to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, it helped prepare us that every game we played counted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously, it helped prepare us that every game we played counted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For my own part I am persuaded that everything advances by an unchangeable law through the eternal constitution and association ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14358]]></link><description><![CDATA[For my own part I am persuaded that everything advances by an unchangeable law through the eternal constitution and association of latent causes, which have been long before predestined. [Lat., Equidem aeterna constitutione crediderim nexuque causarum atentium et multo ante destinatarum suum quemque ordinem immutabili lege percurrere.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an extra dividend when you like the girl you've fallen in love with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25731]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an extra dividend when you like the girl you've fallen in love with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26401]]></link><description><![CDATA[My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Madam, you have bereft me of all words. Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,  And there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Madam, you have bereft me of all words. Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,  And there is such confusion in my powers   As, after some oration fairly spoke    By a beloved prince, there doth appear     Among the buzzing pleased multitude,      Where every something being blent together       Turns to a wild of nothing, save of joy        Expressed and not expressed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That lineup doesn't have any weak spots.
