The Colloquies of Erasmus July 13, 1999  Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward to you will be the spirit of giving more: a blessed spirit, for it is the Spirit of God Himself, whose Life is the blessedness of giving. Love, and God will pay you with the capacity of more love; for love is Heaven: love is God within you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65585]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh Martin Sometimes your voice was the thunder..Sometimes it was the falling rain.
