He did not come into the world to take care of Himself... His life was of no value to Him but as His Father cared for it. God would mind all that was necessary for Him, and He would mind the work His Father had given Him to do. And, my friends, this is just the one secret of a blessed life, the one thing every man comes into this world to learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God enters by a private door into every individual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17716]]></link><description><![CDATA[God enters by a private door into every individual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morn on the waters, and purple and bright Bursts on the billows the flushing of light  O'er the glad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56173]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morn on the waters, and purple and bright Bursts on the billows the flushing of light  O'er the glad waves, like a child of the sun,   See the tall vessel goes gallantly on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23464</guid></item></channel></rss>
