It is even possible to believe that such a God deliberately reduced Himself to the stature of humanity in order to visit the earth in Person, as all Christians affirm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43499]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still amorous, and fond, and billing, Like Philip and Mary, on a shilling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Still amorous, and fond, and billing, Like Philip and Mary, on a shilling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else; this is not advice, it is merely custom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else; this is not advice, it is merely custom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hence the fool's paradise, the statesman's scheme, The air-built castle, and the golden dream,  The maid's romantic wish, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hence the fool's paradise, the statesman's scheme, The air-built castle, and the golden dream,  The maid's romantic wish, the chemist's flame,   And poet's vision of eternal fame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Ten acres and a mule." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1946]]></link><description><![CDATA["Ten acres and a mule."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an authority so high [as Scripture], admit but one officious lie, and there will not remain a single passage ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8446]]></link><description><![CDATA[In an authority so high [as Scripture], admit but one officious lie, and there will not remain a single passage of those apparently difficult to practice or to believe, which on the same most pernicious rule may not be explained as a lie uttered by the author willfully to serve a purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you haven't any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59731]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you haven't any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The class of those who have the ability to think their own thoughts is separated by an unbridgeable gulf from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52020]]></link><description><![CDATA[The class of those who have the ability to think their own thoughts is separated by an unbridgeable gulf from the class of those who cannot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character must be kept bright as well as clean. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character must be kept bright as well as clean.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let reason govern desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let reason govern desire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27320]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bodily disease may be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12506]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bodily disease may be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself.
