If he went out to the Ahaggar plateau, it was not only to find but also to proclaim God, thereby teaching the gospel in a way which desert people could understand. After his death, the example set by this hermit was followed by others who, far from settling in the desert places of the Sahara, set out to mingle with the peopled deserts of the great cities, there to preach the gospel by their example and their very presence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a promise delivered already broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a promise delivered already broken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I rise long before day and work till nightfall, when I take a walk and go to bed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38836]]></link><description><![CDATA[I rise long before day and work till nightfall, when I take a walk and go to bed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I understand by this passion the union of desire, friendship, and tenderness, which is inflamed by a single female, which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2105]]></link><description><![CDATA[I understand by this passion the union of desire, friendship, and tenderness, which is inflamed by a single female, which prefers her to the rest of her sex, and which seeks her possession as the supreme or the sole happiness of our being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're trying to change a mind-set, because there has been a lack of success with men's basketball.

I will have offered the love of God to one who rejects it, and I will have given a few hours of my life to an enemy -- but our Father holds out His hands all day long to a rebellious people, and our Savior gave His life for me when I was His enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our opportunities to do good are our talents. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45100]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our opportunities to do good are our talents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laugh at yourself first before anyone else can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laugh at yourself first before anyone else can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think there is a parallel between federal involvement in education and the decline in profit over recent years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13475]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think there is a parallel between federal involvement in education and the decline in profit over recent years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And truly, I'll devise some honest slanders To stain my cousin with.
