Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As he cobbled and hammered from morning till dark, With the footgear to mend on his knees,  Stitching patches, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56210]]></link><description><![CDATA[As he cobbled and hammered from morning till dark, With the footgear to mend on his knees,  Stitching patches, or pegging on soles as he sang,   Out of tune, ancient catches and glees.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I understand some of the people's impatience with the show last year.
