Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wild oats make a bad autumn crop. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wild oats make a bad autumn crop.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46523]]></link><description><![CDATA[The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a test of ultimate willThe heartbreak climb uphillGot to pick up the paceIf you want to stay in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18729]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a test of ultimate willThe heartbreak climb uphillGot to pick up the paceIf you want to stay in the raceMore than just blind ambitionMore than just simple greedMore than just a finish lineMust feed this burning need]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're a good singer, you're going to make anything sound good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64122]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're a good singer, you're going to make anything sound good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We confess to little faults only to persuade others that we have no great ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15427]]></link><description><![CDATA[We confess to little faults only to persuade others that we have no great ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now you have access to a distribution network and ATMs that is almost national.
