And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hippie is someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane and smells like Cheetah. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19293]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hippie is someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane and smells like Cheetah.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Will you retire?''When they put me in the grave, I want to have a pen in my hand.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18731]]></link><description><![CDATA['Will you retire?''When they put me in the grave, I want to have a pen in my hand.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19353]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was like Hazel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30357]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was like Hazel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard the same news after I was elected [in June] and quite frankly I laughed at it, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41325]]></link><description><![CDATA[I heard the same news after I was elected [in June] and quite frankly I laughed at it,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yield not to calamity, but face her boldly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yield not to calamity, but face her boldly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold on, and wait for the grasshoppers.
