I know that God can be as merciful as those tender Fathers present him to be; and I would be as charitable as they are. And therefore, humbly embracing that manifestation of his Son, which he hath afforded me, I leave God, to his unsearchable waies of working upon others, without further inquisition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60050]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Secrecy is the badge of fraud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Secrecy is the badge of fraud.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He cited the safety of the people because the church was dumping a large amount of traffic onto Colonial Boulevard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37458]]></link><description><![CDATA[He cited the safety of the people because the church was dumping a large amount of traffic onto Colonial Boulevard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life really does begin at forty.
