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[Small minds are captivated by trifles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50759]]></link><description><![CDATA[Small minds are captivated by trifles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46303]]></link><description><![CDATA[No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56904]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This would be the biggest pipeline built in the last 20 years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37785]]></link><description><![CDATA[This would be the biggest pipeline built in the last 20 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566   Christianity is a battle, not a dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566   Christianity is a battle, not a dream.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all wild beasts, the most difficult to manage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all wild beasts, the most difficult to manage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They've already proved so many things, but they always feel like they have to prove something.
