We may discover at the crucial moment that we are spiritually bankrupt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played even with one of the best teams in the state for 16 minutes.

For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As much valour is to be found in feasting as in fighting, and some of our city captains and carpet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15588]]></link><description><![CDATA[As much valour is to be found in feasting as in fighting, and some of our city captains and carpet knights will make this good, and prove it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One said he wondered that leather was not dearer than any other thing.
