These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is when reality exceeds expectations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is when reality exceeds expectations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never trust anyone completely but God.
