And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are God-like, and that God's grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture: and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knavery and flattery are blood relations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knavery and flattery are blood relations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been pushing instant messaging because it allows instant communication between people who are not necessarily available by other means, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39034]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been pushing instant messaging because it allows instant communication between people who are not necessarily available by other means,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I studied the lives of great men and famous women; and I found that the men and women who got ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58030]]></link><description><![CDATA[I studied the lives of great men and famous women; and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether the weather be fine, Whether the weather be not, Whether the weather be cold, Whether the weather be hot, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether the weather be fine, Whether the weather be not, Whether the weather be cold, Whether the weather be hot, We'll weather the weather, Whatever the whether, Whether we like it or not]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason can answer questions, but imagination has to ask them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reason can answer questions, but imagination has to ask them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25666]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866   Christ was common to all in love, in teaching, in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8375]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866   Christ was common to all in love, in teaching, in tender consolation, in generous gifts, in merciful forgiveness.

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a book is allowed to criticize a holder of a trademark and mock a trademark as well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34939]]></link><description><![CDATA[a book is allowed to criticize a holder of a trademark and mock a trademark as well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is one long struggle in the dark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is one long struggle in the dark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nearest I can make it out, "Love your Enemies" means, "Hate your Friends" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13818]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nearest I can make it out, "Love your Enemies" means, "Hate your Friends"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a fast start, then Milford had a 12-0 run, then we held them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32030]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had a fast start, then Milford had a 12-0 run, then we held them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mothers are the people who love us for no good reason.

We must realize that God is against us when we are sinning; yet we dare trust that His gracious love reaches to us across the chasm which separates us from Him. When we understand His loving attitude and accept His Grace, He releases His love in us. By that love we are able to begin to keep His commands for us -- to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad beginnings, bad endings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad beginnings, bad endings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you use your office as you would a private trust, and the moneys as trust funds, if you faithfully ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52510]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you use your office as you would a private trust, and the moneys as trust funds, if you faithfully perform your duty, we, the people, may put you in the Presidential chair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We kept urgency.
