For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One father is enough to governe one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49687]]></link><description><![CDATA[One father is enough to governe one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't get enough information from the investigating agency to proceed with the case.
