And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64484]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was the piece of straw that broke the camel's back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51001]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was the piece of straw that broke the camel's back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The marathon can humble you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54575]]></link><description><![CDATA[The marathon can humble you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tragedy and comedy are but two aspects of what is real, and whether we see the tragic or the humorous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tragedy and comedy are but two aspects of what is real, and whether we see the tragic or the humorous is a matter of perspective.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't believe one grows older.
