The vocation is answered in the home and office and factory and field. There it is that the People of God bears its witness to the vocation of the People of God, a people with a people's diversity and complex vitality, a people comprising a multiplicity of cultures and histories and colours and tongues, a people and not a collection of individuals, a people bound together in allegiance to one King and in obedience to one purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would be unconscionable for the Brattleboro Select Board to approve the evacuation plan without including these improvements. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34203]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would be unconscionable for the Brattleboro Select Board to approve the evacuation plan without including these improvements.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is ever the way.

And Saint Paul, speaking of those that die with Christ, that they may live no longer to themselves, but to Him that died for them, does not mean this of monks only, but of Christians universally.  ... The Colloquies of Erasmus July 13, 1999  Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward to you will be the spirit of giving more: a blessed spirit, for it is the Spirit of God Himself, whose Life is the blessedness of giving. Love, and God will pay you with the capacity of more love; for love is Heaven: love is God within you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teamwork is no accident.It is the by-product of good leadership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teamwork is no accident.It is the by-product of good leadership.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taste is the feminine of genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58651]]></link><description><![CDATA[Taste is the feminine of genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That chastity of honour which felt a stain like a wound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5790]]></link><description><![CDATA[That chastity of honour which felt a stain like a wound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust not thy feeling, for whatever it be now, it will quickly be changed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust not thy feeling, for whatever it be now, it will quickly be changed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For however often a man may receive an obligation from you, if you refuse a request, all former favors are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15481]]></link><description><![CDATA[For however often a man may receive an obligation from you, if you refuse a request, all former favors are effaced by this one denial. [Lat., Nam quamblibet saepe obligati, si quid unum neges, hoc solum meminerunt, quod negatum est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real beggar is indeed the true and only king. [Ger., Der wahre Bettler ist  Doch einzig und allein ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3927]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real beggar is indeed the true and only king. [Ger., Der wahre Bettler ist  Doch einzig und allein der wahre Konig.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sharks have been swimming the oceans unchallenged for thousands of years; chances are, the species that roams corporate waters will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sharks have been swimming the oceans unchallenged for thousands of years; chances are, the species that roams corporate waters will prove just as hardy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a really unique opportunity to swim a huge river like this.
