It is also the language of the Bible, of the parables of Christ, which the rationalist of today finds it so difficult to understand, of the Word of God which demands of us not a discussion but a personal decision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35529]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not going to be politically acceptable to most people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32778]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is not going to be politically acceptable to most people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is dangerous.
