There is no way from one person to another. However loving and sympathetic we try to be, however sound our psychology however frank and open our behaviour we cannot penetrate the incognito of the other man, for there are no direct relationships, not even between soul and soul. Christ stands between us, and we can only get into touch with our neighbors through Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And statesmen at her council met Who knew the seasons when to take  Occasion by the hand, and make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57854]]></link><description><![CDATA[And statesmen at her council met Who knew the seasons when to take  Occasion by the hand, and make   The bounds of freedom wider yet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.Live you life in a manner so that when you die ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11381]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.Live you life in a manner so that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe; Bold I can meet--perhaps may turn his blow;  But of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe; Bold I can meet--perhaps may turn his blow;  But of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send,   Save, save, oh! save me from the candid friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking; or, in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14803]]></link><description><![CDATA[An eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking; or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dogs learn more than 40 commands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36425]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dogs learn more than 40 commands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good people all, with one accord, Lament for Madame Blaize,  Who never wanted a good word--   From ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good people all, with one accord, Lament for Madame Blaize,  Who never wanted a good word--   From those who spoke her praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An expert knows all the answers -- if you ask the right questions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52783]]></link><description><![CDATA[An expert knows all the answers -- if you ask the right questions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no great smoke arise, but there must be some fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16014]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no great smoke arise, but there must be some fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the game against Finland I wished them luck.

Of this breach Baptism was the sacrament. In Baptism the change was effected and realized in fact. Baptism was not a mere formal external act, a symbol of a spiritual fact which was already complete without it. A Spiritual conversion which was not also a conversion of life was no conversion at all, but a delusion... With the heart man believes, with the mouth he confesses; but a mouth which does not confess disproves the existence of a heart that believes. The soul cannot be God's and the life not God's at the same time. The soul can not be recreated and the life remain unchanged. The spiritual breach is proved and realized and completed in the outward breach. Where there is no outward change, it is safe to deny an inward change. Faith without Baptism and all that Baptism involved was consequently no part of St. Paul's teaching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20281]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a great season and a great game.
