That is the vainest of vain dreams. Rather is this the supreme revelation of a new way of living life; and only those who -- blunderingly, it may be, yet honestly -- seek to adopt and imitate it can be counted really Christian folk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Husbands are awkward things to deal with; even keeping them in hot water will not make them tender. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Husbands are awkward things to deal with; even keeping them in hot water will not make them tender.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientists dream about doing great things.
