If easy times are departed, it is that the difficult times may make us more in earnest; that they may teach us not to depend on ourselves. If easy belief is impossible, it is that we may learn what belief is, and in whom it is to be placed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The violets were past their prime, Yet their departing breath  Was sweeter, in the blast of death,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60716]]></link><description><![CDATA[The violets were past their prime, Yet their departing breath  Was sweeter, in the blast of death,   Than all the lavish fragrance of the time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were within one offense touchdown in the first half.
