The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men heap together the mistakes of their lives and create a monster they call destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men heap together the mistakes of their lives and create a monster they call destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are like fine wine.
