The great Christian graces are radiant with happiness. Faith, hope, charity, there is no sadness in them; and if penitence makes the heart sad, penitence belongs to the sinner, not to the saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grandeur . . . consists in form, and not in size: and to the eye of the philosopher, the curve ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grandeur . . . consists in form, and not in size: and to the eye of the philosopher, the curve drawn on a paper two inches long, is just as magnificent, just as symbolic of divine mysteries and melodies, as when embodied in the span of some cathedral roof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be boldly decisive and risk being wrong than to agonize at length and be right too ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22574]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be boldly decisive and risk being wrong than to agonize at length and be right too late.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to know how God created this world.
