God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew this game would have a playoff feel with Central Catholic being undefeated and all the section championships they've ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32154]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew this game would have a playoff feel with Central Catholic being undefeated and all the section championships they've won.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
