It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45837]]></link><description><![CDATA[The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The canvas glow'd beyond ev'n nature warm; The pregnant quarry teem'd with human form. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3182]]></link><description><![CDATA[The canvas glow'd beyond ev'n nature warm; The pregnant quarry teem'd with human form.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals. -J. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals. -J.
