Christ, the Spirit of Christ, interpenetrating ours, sweetens, purifies, transforms all. This can only eradicate what is wrong, renovate and regenerate, and rehabilitate the inner man. Will-power does not change men. Time does not change men. Christ does. Therefore "Let that mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Openly questioning the way the world works and challenging the power of the powerful is not an activity customarily rewarded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Openly questioning the way the world works and challenging the power of the powerful is not an activity customarily rewarded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hard beginning maketh a good ending. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3975]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hard beginning maketh a good ending.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is not always tact, and it is tact that is golden, not silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is not always tact, and it is tact that is golden, not silence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You say that love is nonsense....I tell you it is no such thing.
