O Lord let me not sink into total depravity, look down upon me, and rescue me at last from the captivity of sin. Impart to me good resolutions, and give me strength and perseverance to perform them. Take not from me Thy Holy Spirit, but grant that I may redeem the time lost, and that by temperance and diligence, by sincere repentance and faithful obedience I may finally attain everlasting happiness, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wanted to tell a 'Rocky'-type story about a girl from the inner city who had the ability, talent and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33997]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wanted to tell a 'Rocky'-type story about a girl from the inner city who had the ability, talent and intelligence to do this but didn't have the support or the resources or the belief this was something that was for her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have executed the will of God and the rule of law because he killed people, ordered assaults on fighters ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28322]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have executed the will of God and the rule of law because he killed people, ordered assaults on fighters and he had a big file of corruption.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63009]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25075]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is in the details. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21776]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is in the details.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not becoming to grieve immoderately for the dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51664]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not becoming to grieve immoderately for the dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[I kiss the soil] as if I placed a kiss on the hands of a mother, for the homeland is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23877]]></link><description><![CDATA[[I kiss the soil] as if I placed a kiss on the hands of a mother, for the homeland is our earthly mother.
