The greatness of the Christian lies in the fact that he is God's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

And how absurd would it be that in satisfying men you should incur the displeasure of him for whose sake you obey men themselves! The Lord, therefore, is the King of Kings, who, when he has opened his sacred mouth, must alone be heard, before all and above all men; next to him we are subject to those men who are in authority over us, but only in him. If they command anything against him, let it go unesteemed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Falling in love is the single most expressive feeling a person can have.
