Indeed, materials for a full biography have been withheld from men. The earliest converts were converted by a single historical fact (the Resurrection) and a single theological doctrine (the Redemption) operating on a sense of win which they already had... The "Gospels" came later and were written not to make Christians but to edify Christians already made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64495]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16793]]></link><description><![CDATA[I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May your days be many and your troubles be few.
