These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The Ottoman Empire] has the body of a sick old man, who tried to appear healthy, although his end was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59903]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The Ottoman Empire] has the body of a sick old man, who tried to appear healthy, although his end was near.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Amiable weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Amiable weakness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My feet, they haul me Round the House, They hoist me up the Stairs;  I only have to steer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15558]]></link><description><![CDATA[My feet, they haul me Round the House, They hoist me up the Stairs;  I only have to steer them, and   They Ride me Everywheres.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All government is a trust.
