For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of mind, when out of view. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out of mind, when out of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one tells the truth, one is sure sooner or later to be found out ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59790]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one tells the truth, one is sure sooner or later to be found out]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59790</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[To break an oral agreement which is not legally binding is morally wrong ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1915]]></link><description><![CDATA[To break an oral agreement which is not legally binding is morally wrong]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Would they want Jeff Bagwell now making $17 million, or opt for access to $15 million?
