None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I support his race for Congress and I hope he'll be our next representative in Washington. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34148]]></link><description><![CDATA[I support his race for Congress and I hope he'll be our next representative in Washington.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They kept telling me, 'You are a liar,' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41273]]></link><description><![CDATA[They kept telling me, 'You are a liar,']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he goes through life, his mouth open, and his mind closed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25171]]></link><description><![CDATA[And he goes through life, his mouth open, and his mind closed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lely on animated canvas stole The sleepy eye, that spoke the melting soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lely on animated canvas stole The sleepy eye, that spoke the melting soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shortest distance between two points is under construction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1181]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shortest distance between two points is under construction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of Apple's advertising is consistently above average.
