What's it like to be that goofy little soldier, scared stiff, with his bayonet aimed at Christ? What's it like to have been a woman in a defense-plant job during World War II? What's it like to be a kid at the front lines? It's all funny and tragic at the same time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bluebird carries the sky on his back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43933]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bluebird carries the sky on his back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when ill indeed, E'en dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.   - George Colman ("The Younger"), ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56235]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when ill indeed, E'en dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.   - George Colman ("The Younger"),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions - the curtain was up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63505]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions - the curtain was up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rocks, torrents, gulfs, and shapes of giant size And glitt'ring cliff on cliffs, and fiery ramparts rise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8899]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rocks, torrents, gulfs, and shapes of giant size And glitt'ring cliff on cliffs, and fiery ramparts rise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As we were driving, we saw a sign that said "Watch for Rocks."

It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Vision of a Champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, and the point of exhaustion, when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56727]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Vision of a Champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, and the point of exhaustion, when no one else is watching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have all these offenders in that area who could be anywhere.
