The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your life is what your thoughts make it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your life is what your thoughts make it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7527]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a daffadill I see, Hanging down his head t'wards me,  Guesse I may, what I must be:  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10971]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a daffadill I see, Hanging down his head t'wards me,  Guesse I may, what I must be:   First, I shall decline my head;    Secondly, I shall be dead:     Lastly, safely buryed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All is well with him, who is beloved of his neighbours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49104]]></link><description><![CDATA[All is well with him, who is beloved of his neighbours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition.
