He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue has a veil, vice a mask. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue has a veil, vice a mask.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The blood more stirs To rouse a lion than to start a hare! -King Henry IV.
