Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A library implies an act of faith ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24756]]></link><description><![CDATA[A library implies an act of faith]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65317]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course I was disappointed.
