Ah! happy they whose hearts can break  And peace of pardon win! How else may man make straight his plan  And cleanse his soul from sin? How else but through a broken heart  May Lord Christ enter in?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lost good name is ne'er retriev'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53880]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lost good name is ne'er retriev'd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I deal with the obvious.
