Hosannah! welcome to our hearts: Lord, here Thou hast a temple too, and full as dear  As that of Sion; and as full of sin -- Nothing but thieves and robbers dwell therein; Enter and chase them forth, and cleanse the floor,  Crucify them, that they may never more Profane that holy place Where thou hast chose to set thy face. And then if our still tongues shall be  Mute in the praises of thy deity, The stones out of the temple wall  Shall cry aloud and call Hosannah! and thy glorious footsteps greet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of us become parents long before we have stopped being children. -Mignon McLaughlin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of us become parents long before we have stopped being children. -Mignon McLaughlin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The offertory is the first essential action of the Liturgy, because in it we make the costly and solemn oblation, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7745]]></link><description><![CDATA[The offertory is the first essential action of the Liturgy, because in it we make the costly and solemn oblation, under tokens, of our very selves and all our substance; that they may be transformed, quickened, and devoted to the interests of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is like A full hot horse, who being allowed his way,  Self-mettle tires him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is like A full hot horse, who being allowed his way,  Self-mettle tires him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work divided is in that manner shortened. [Lat., Divisum sic breve fiet opus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work divided is in that manner shortened. [Lat., Divisum sic breve fiet opus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sheep in sheep's clothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11522]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sheep in sheep's clothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62454]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64646]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have too many fantasies to be a housewife.

Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which sufficeth is not little. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49788]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which sufficeth is not little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always the simple things that change our lives.
