It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was going to call in sick today but he wanted to make more money for the holidays. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40942]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was going to call in sick today but he wanted to make more money for the holidays.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I bring to my life a certain amount of mess. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1052]]></link><description><![CDATA[I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gush of bird-song, a patter of dew, A cloud, and a rainbow's warning,  Suddenly sunshine and perfect blue-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2995]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gush of bird-song, a patter of dew, A cloud, and a rainbow's warning,  Suddenly sunshine and perfect blue--   An April day in the morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is twice as large, measured on a three-year-old's three-foot scale on a thirty-year-old's six-foot scale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is twice as large, measured on a three-year-old's three-foot scale on a thirty-year-old's six-foot scale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the people were a little more ignorant, astrology would flourish - if a little more enlightened, religion would perish ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3388]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the people were a little more ignorant, astrology would flourish - if a little more enlightened, religion would perish]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My business in this state Made me a looker on here in Vienna. -Measure for Measure.
