Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hair she means to have is gold, Her eyes are blue, she's twelve weeks old,  Plump are her ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3640]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hair she means to have is gold, Her eyes are blue, she's twelve weeks old,  Plump are her fists and pinky.   She fluttered down in lucky hour    From some blue deep in yon sky bower--     I call her "Little Dinky."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Until we get equality in education, we won't have an equal society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66665]]></link><description><![CDATA[Until we get equality in education, we won't have an equal society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the biggest tournament of the season outside of the regional and state championships.
