Man knows his sin, which without temptation he could never have known; for in temptation man knows on what he has set his heart. The coming to light of sin is the work of the accuser, who thereby thinks to have won the victory. But it is sin which is become manifest which can be known, and therefore forgiven. Thus the manifestation of sin belongs to the salvation plan of God with man, and Satan must serve this plan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three or four teams have backed out already, so it's going to be a small meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three or four teams have backed out already, so it's going to be a small meet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is compelling evidence suggesting that U.S. personnel have committed acts against detainees amounting to torture or cruel, inhumane, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30397]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is compelling evidence suggesting that U.S. personnel have committed acts against detainees amounting to torture or cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never wanted to be famous.

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20359]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If hindrances obstruct the way, Thy magnanimity display.  And let thy strength be seen:   But O, if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16581]]></link><description><![CDATA[If hindrances obstruct the way, Thy magnanimity display.  And let thy strength be seen:   But O, if Fortune fill thy sail    With more than a propitious gale,     Take half thy canvas in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing good ever comes of violence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing good ever comes of violence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed.
