The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys, also redeems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mask is dropped...
