Let His almighty nail-pierced hands hold the wheel, and you will be safe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God;  And only he who sees takes off his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3548]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God;  And only he who sees takes off his shoes;   The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm dense when it comes to discouragement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41209]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm dense when it comes to discouragement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53419]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well.
