He esteems affection rather than valuables, and sets all gifts below the Beloved. A noble-minded lover rests not in the gift, but in Me above every gift." The sustaining power of the Beloved Presence has through the ages made the sickbed sweet and the graveside triumphant; transformed broken hearts and relations; brought glory to drudgery, poverty and old age; and turned the martyr's stake or noose into a place of coronation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope of ill gain is the beginning of loss. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope of ill gain is the beginning of loss.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They drill it in our head that special teams could determine the outcome of the game. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31413]]></link><description><![CDATA[They drill it in our head that special teams could determine the outcome of the game.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We thought it would do OK, but we weren't sure.

We invoke the true God for the Emperor. Even if he persecute us, we are bidden to pray for them that persecute us, as you can read in our books, which are not hidden, which you often get hold of. We pray for him because the Empire lies between us and the end of the world. We count the Caesars to be God's vice-regents and swear by their safety (not by their genius, as required). As for loyalty, Caesar really is more ours than yours; for it was our God who set him up. It is for his own good, that we refuse to call the Emperor God; Father of his Country is a better title. No Christian has ever made a plot against a Caesar; the famous conspirators and assassins were heathen, one and all. Piety, religion, faith are our best offering of loyalty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63179]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Expression is the dress of thought, and still Appears more decent as more suitable;  A vile conceit in pompous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Expression is the dress of thought, and still Appears more decent as more suitable;  A vile conceit in pompous words express'd,   Is like a clown in regal purple dress'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Then We Kiss ...
