But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The well-being for this area was dependent upon tobacco especially in the Pee Dee and in the state of South ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37065]]></link><description><![CDATA[The well-being for this area was dependent upon tobacco especially in the Pee Dee and in the state of South Carolina.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale,  And every tale condemns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51520]]></link><description><![CDATA[My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale,  And every tale condemns me for a villain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Canada's official languages program is arguably the most successful affirmative action program in history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Canada's official languages program is arguably the most successful affirmative action program in history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64580]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46890]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And who in time knows whither we may vent the treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores this gain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24039]]></link><description><![CDATA[And who in time knows whither we may vent the treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores this gain of our best glories shall be sent, 't unknowing Nations with our stores?
