And doubtless he spared no kind of people, but was indifferent to all men, as well rich as poor, to the great shame of no small number of men nowadays. Whereas many we see so addicted to the pleasing of great and rich men, that in the meantime they have no regard to the meaner sort of poor people, whom Christ hath bought as dearly as the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With love and patience, nothing is impossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25919]]></link><description><![CDATA[With love and patience, nothing is impossible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23195]]></link><description><![CDATA[The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of our progress is not whether we add to the abundance of those who have much.
