He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2412]]></link><description><![CDATA[The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have some salt of our youth in us. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.
