"Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to have a powerful earnings turn around this year to justify gains from current levels, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37130]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to have a powerful earnings turn around this year to justify gains from current levels,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Financial services are not excluded; they are simply not yet included. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Financial services are not excluded; they are simply not yet included.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A meeting between two people who complete each other, who are made for each other, borders already, in my opinion, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2233]]></link><description><![CDATA[A meeting between two people who complete each other, who are made for each other, borders already, in my opinion, on a miracle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An arrant traitor as any is in the universal world, or in France, or in England! -King Henry V.
