Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened... After many years of affirming God's existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21899]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Utility is our national shibboleth: the savior of the American businessman is fact and his uterine half-brother, statistics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15746]]></link><description><![CDATA[Utility is our national shibboleth: the savior of the American businessman is fact and his uterine half-brother, statistics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We felt relieved.

By love alone He enjoyeth all the creatures, by love alone He is pleasing to Himself, by love alone He is rich and blessed. O, why dost not thou by love alone seek to achieve all these, by love alone attain another self, by love alone live in others, by love attain thy glory? The same is shriveled up and buried in a grave that does not love. But that which does love wisely and truly is the joy and end of all the world, the King of Heaven and the friend of God, the shining light and temple of eternity, the brother of Jesus Christ, and one spirit with the Holy Ghost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're not a white male, consider sales seriously.
