The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the constant and determined effort that breaks down resistance, sweeps away all obstacles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21675]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the constant and determined effort that breaks down resistance, sweeps away all obstacles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525   "Help!"
