Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just staying one day ahead of yesterday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just staying one day ahead of yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us do or die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/494]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us do or die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thick skin is a gift from God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21220]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thick skin is a gift from God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goodness is something that makes us serene and content; it is magnificent.
