So just because unemployment is higher doesn't mean we're not on track for a recovery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not belittling the brave pioneer men but the sunbonnet as well as the sombrero has helped to settle ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21631]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not belittling the brave pioneer men but the sunbonnet as well as the sombrero has helped to settle this glorious land of ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Direction is more important than speed.

If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it; the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it; the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first duty of a newspaper is to be accurate.
