For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not that often you see a contract settle without concessions in this day and age.

It was because fallen man was to go through all these stages as necessary parts of his return to God; and therefore, if man was to go out of his fallen state there must be a son of this fallen man, who, as a head and fountain of the whole race, could do all this -- could go back through all these gates and so make it possible for all the individuals of human nature, as being born of Him, to inherit His conquering nature and follow Him through all these passages to eternal life. And thus we see, in the strongest and clearest light, both why and how the holy Jesus is become our great Redeemer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that strikes with his tongue, must ward with his head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that strikes with his tongue, must ward with his head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who knows where the skeletons are in the closets of (WTO) member states better than Pascal Lamy? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who knows where the skeletons are in the closets of (WTO) member states better than Pascal Lamy?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873   When I trouble myself over a trifle, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873   When I trouble myself over a trifle, even a trifle confessed -- the loss of some little article, say -- spurring my memory, and hunting the house, not from immediate need, but from dislike of loss; when a book has been borrowed of me and is not returned, and I have forgotten the borrower; and fret over the missing volume, ... is it not time that I lost a few things, when I care for them so unreasonably? This losing of things is the mercy of God: it comes to teach us to let them go. Or have I forgotten a thought that came to me, which seemed of the truth? I keep trying and trying to call it back, feeling a poor man until that thought be recovered -- to be far more lost, perhaps, in a notebook into which I shall never look again to find it! I forget that it is live things that God cares about.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure, when he is really selling himself to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure, when he is really selling himself to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Man and His Two SweetheartsA middle aged man, whose hair had begun to turn gray, courted two women at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1566]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Man and His Two SweetheartsA middle aged man, whose hair had begun to turn gray, courted two women at the same time. One of them was young, and the other well advanced in years. The elder woman, ashamed to be courted by a man younger than herself, made a point, whenever her admirer visited her, to pull out some portion of his black hairs. The younger, on the contrary, not wishing to become the wife of an old man, was equally zealous in removing every gray hair she could find. Thus it came to pass that between them both he very soon found that he had not a hair left on his head. Those who seek to please everybody please nobody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26316]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brother, brother; we are both in the wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brother, brother; we are both in the wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dead end can never be a one way street; you can always turn around and take another road. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65145]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dead end can never be a one way street; you can always turn around and take another road.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You would be, sweet madam, if your miseries were in the same abundance as your good fortunes are; and yet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13268]]></link><description><![CDATA[You would be, sweet madam, if your miseries were in the same abundance as your good fortunes are; and yet for aught I see, they are as sick that surfeit with too much as they that starve with nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28036]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tithe, and be rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tithe, and be rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rivalry adds so much to the charms of one's conquests ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rivalry adds so much to the charms of one's conquests]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I ran a post, ran straight past the safety and when I saw the ball in the air, I knew ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39886]]></link><description><![CDATA[I ran a post, ran straight past the safety and when I saw the ball in the air, I knew it was over after that,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4328]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These earthly godfathers of heaven's light, That give a name to every fixed star,  Have no more profit of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3403]]></link><description><![CDATA[These earthly godfathers of heaven's light, That give a name to every fixed star,  Have no more profit of their shining nights   Than those that walk and wot not what they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only a few human beings should grow to the square mile; they are commonly planted too close. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only a few human beings should grow to the square mile; they are commonly planted too close.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless you can find some sort of loyalty, you cannot find unity and peace in your active living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25988]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unless you can find some sort of loyalty, you cannot find unity and peace in your active living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thing about this group is, when you look at them individually, there is no 'stunning' talent.
