And so our solution of the problem of Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual salvation must finally lie in the full acceptance and realisation of what is implied by the infinity and the omniscience of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9488]]></link><description><![CDATA[We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66812]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is thy gold; worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murther in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17800]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is thy gold; worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murther in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell:.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst bankruptcy in the world is the person who has lost his enthusiasm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21347]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst bankruptcy in the world is the person who has lost his enthusiasm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose From out night's gray and cloudy sheath; Softly and still it grows ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose From out night's gray and cloudy sheath; Softly and still it grows and grows, Petal by petal, leaf by leaf.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Willingness opens the doors to knowledge, direction, and achievement.Be willing to know, be willing to do, be willing to create ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Willingness opens the doors to knowledge, direction, and achievement.Be willing to know, be willing to do, be willing to create a positiveresult.
