Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who requires much from himself and little from others, will keep himself from being the object of resentment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53930]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who requires much from himself and little from others, will keep himself from being the object of resentment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By his own verdict no guilty man was ever acquitted. [Lat., Se judice, nemo nocens absolvitur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10664]]></link><description><![CDATA[By his own verdict no guilty man was ever acquitted. [Lat., Se judice, nemo nocens absolvitur.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only time you don't fail is the last time you try anything--and it works. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14944]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only time you don't fail is the last time you try anything--and it works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can let vines grow on top and get shade, or get filtered sunlight without any vines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30417]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can let vines grow on top and get shade, or get filtered sunlight without any vines.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11082]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who reforms himself has done more toward reforming the public than a crowd of noisy, impotent patriots ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53195]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who reforms himself has done more toward reforming the public than a crowd of noisy, impotent patriots]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[House prices are likely to remain relatively flat for an extended period, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36611]]></link><description><![CDATA[House prices are likely to remain relatively flat for an extended period,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's one of those things that is a nightmare.
