Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writers must fortify themselves with pride and egotism as best they can.
