But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She went her unremembering way, She went and left in me  The pang of all the partings gone,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45577]]></link><description><![CDATA[She went her unremembering way, She went and left in me  The pang of all the partings gone,   And partings yet to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know anything about luck.
