In the end, the question is whether the reader will really allow God to speak to him, or whether he evades God by hiding behind "Paul", behind "the past".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61208]]></link><description><![CDATA[War is hell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without asking a clear question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without asking a clear question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in an atmosphere of shame.
