O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ill fortune seldom comes alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ill fortune seldom comes alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advice: the world is how you see it.
