It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I not only use all the brains I have, but all that I can borrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27527]]></link><description><![CDATA[I not only use all the brains I have, but all that I can borrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Up in the heights of the evening skies I see my City of Cities float In sunset's golden and crimson ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Up in the heights of the evening skies I see my City of Cities float In sunset's golden and crimson dyes: I look and a great joy clutches my throat!  Plateau of roofs by canyons crossed: windows by thousands fire-furled--   O gazing, how the heart is lost in the Deepest City in the World.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek not to inquire what the morrow will bring with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek not to inquire what the morrow will bring with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn so many things from golf- how to suffer, for instance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17810]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn so many things from golf- how to suffer, for instance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where two take counsel there is no lack of plans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where two take counsel there is no lack of plans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46391]]></link><description><![CDATA[The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This hand, to tyrants ever sworn the foe, For freedom only deals the deadly blow;  Then sheathes in calm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45861]]></link><description><![CDATA[This hand, to tyrants ever sworn the foe, For freedom only deals the deadly blow;  Then sheathes in calm repose the vengeful blade,   For gentle peace in freedom's hallowed shade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't have to be careful, I've got a gun ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61467]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't have to be careful, I've got a gun]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are now looking for those responsible for the destruction of the police office.
