Thy love is inseparable when all thy thoughts and thy wills are gathered together and fastened wholly in Jesus Christ, so that thou mayest no time forget Him, but aye thou thinkest on Him... Thy love is singular when all thy delight is in Jesus Christ and in no other thing finds joy and comfort.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60293]]></link><description><![CDATA[On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States.
