And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think also what people really should try to keep in mind is, when a hit and run occurs, there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31525]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think also what people really should try to keep in mind is, when a hit and run occurs, there is a lack of closure on an incident like this, people don't really have a sense of what happened and what lead to this - from a justice standpoint or from a personal standpoint- we're trying to help the family to try and understand it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when he (man) shall have been taken from sight, he quickly goes also out of mind. [Lat., Cum autem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/146]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when he (man) shall have been taken from sight, he quickly goes also out of mind. [Lat., Cum autem sublatus fuerit ab oculis, etiam cito transit a mente.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Global Services division goes from strength to strength, providing BT with diversification away from pure telecoms services that remain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31603]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Global Services division goes from strength to strength, providing BT with diversification away from pure telecoms services that remain under intense pricing pressure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness depends upon ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness depends upon ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got a strong girls' team.
