It is love alone in the holy Deity that will allow no peace to the wicked, nor ever cease its judgments till every sinner is forced to confess that it is good for him that he has been in trouble, and thankfully own that not the wrath but the love of God has plucked out that right eye, cut off that right band, which he ought to have done but would not do for himself and his own salvation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.

He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex is like snow, you never know how many inches you're going to get or how long it will last ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sex is like snow, you never know how many inches you're going to get or how long it will last]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sonorous metal blowing martial sounds, At which the universal host up sent  A shout that tore hell's concave, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sonorous metal blowing martial sounds, At which the universal host up sent  A shout that tore hell's concave, and beyond   Frighted the reign of Chaos and old Night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57294</guid></item></channel></rss>
