And every human heart that breaks,  In prison-cell or yard, Is as that broken box that gave  Its treasure to the Lord, And filled the unclean leper's house  With the scent of costliest nard. 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[We're assuming that these folks will be coming here and staying here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28718]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're assuming that these folks will be coming here and staying here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Running helps me stay on an even keel and in an optimistic frame of mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Running helps me stay on an even keel and in an optimistic frame of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For dear is the Emerald Isle of the ocean, Whose daughters are fair as the foam of the wave,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23055]]></link><description><![CDATA[For dear is the Emerald Isle of the ocean, Whose daughters are fair as the foam of the wave,  Whose sons unaccustom'd to rebel commotion,   Tho' joyous, are sober--tho' peaceful, are brave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/790]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre Observe degree, priority, and place,  Insisture, course, proportion, season, form,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45268]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre Observe degree, priority, and place,  Insisture, course, proportion, season, form,   Office, and custom, in all line of order.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other.
