Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57479]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the best one yet - it's the fourth and it means a lot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30001]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the best one yet - it's the fourth and it means a lot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have listened keenly to our customers and refined the cars to boost our competitiveness on both sides of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35185]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have listened keenly to our customers and refined the cars to boost our competitiveness on both sides of the Atlantic.
