Although now we see Him not, yet believing, we can "rejoice with joy unspeakable" in what the Triune God has done and is doing through Him. This Good News, so rich that it is stated in a variety of ways, but always consistently, in the New Testament, is what we always imperfect children, but children [yet], are privileged -- and commanded -- to make known and to demonstrate to all mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20474]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consequently, the cost per channel can be significantly reduced by using the eight-channel device. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consequently, the cost per channel can be significantly reduced by using the eight-channel device.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27131]]></link><description><![CDATA[I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat. -Rebecca West.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the King of Rome, and above grammar. [Lat., Ego sum rex Romanus, et supra grammaticam.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24018]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the King of Rome, and above grammar. [Lat., Ego sum rex Romanus, et supra grammaticam.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And see the rivers how they run Through woods and meads, in shade and sun,  Sometimes swift, sometimes slow,-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54321]]></link><description><![CDATA[And see the rivers how they run Through woods and meads, in shade and sun,  Sometimes swift, sometimes slow,--   Wave succeeding wave, they go    A various journey to the deep,     Like human life to endless sleep!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now let us sing, long live the king. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now let us sing, long live the king.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24431]]></link><description><![CDATA[The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think practicing what you preach is rough, just try preaching what you practice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53650]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you think practicing what you preach is rough, just try preaching what you practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is more profitable for your congressman to support the tobacco industry than your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48343]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is more profitable for your congressman to support the tobacco industry than your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the Soviet Union, capitalism triumphed over communism.
