For they are forever being challenged to abandon all things for the sake of God; and forever being sent back into the world to teach and practice all the things that have been commanded them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grass stoops not, she treads on it so light; . . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16415]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grass stoops not, she treads on it so light; . . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Space and light and order.
