Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe, Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast;  Is that portentous phrase, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe, Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast;  Is that portentous phrase, "I told you so."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62935]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dinner lubricates business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13255]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dinner lubricates business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avoiding offense means that we don't accept each other as equals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29758]]></link><description><![CDATA[Avoiding offense means that we don't accept each other as equals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27525]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking whatone does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22323]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking whatone does.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we really realized we needed to get down and do our business.
