For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been extremely touched by these signs of affection on the part of all the Thai people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30149]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been extremely touched by these signs of affection on the part of all the Thai people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11201]]></link><description><![CDATA[While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is said, that the thing you possess is worth more than two you may have in the future.
