The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And gladly wolde he lerne and gladly teche. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24530]]></link><description><![CDATA[And gladly wolde he lerne and gladly teche.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And, oftentimes, excusing of a fault, Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51347]]></link><description><![CDATA[And, oftentimes, excusing of a fault, Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honourable peace becomes men, fierce anger should belong to beasts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honourable peace becomes men, fierce anger should belong to beasts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean--roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;  Man marks the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean--roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;  Man marks the earth with ruin--his control   Stops with the shore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells!  What a world of happiness their harmony foretells   Through the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells!  What a world of happiness their harmony foretells   Through the balmy air of night    How they ring out their delight!     From the molten golden notes,      And all in tune       What a liquid ditty floats        To the turtle-dove that listens while she gloats         On the moon!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never done this before.
