His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtues are acquired through endeavor, which rests wholly upon yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtues are acquired through endeavor, which rests wholly upon yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O thou who passest through our valleys in Thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat  That flames ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58254]]></link><description><![CDATA[O thou who passest through our valleys in Thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat  That flames from their large nostrils!
