Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/383]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope all Iraqis will vote 'Yes' to the constitution so that the building of Iraq can begin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36217]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hope all Iraqis will vote 'Yes' to the constitution so that the building of Iraq can begin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63087]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things have their place, knew wee how to place them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49109]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things have their place, knew wee how to place them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18228]]></link><description><![CDATA[We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave may be the shortest way to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A house that does not have one warm, comfy chair in it is soulless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66680]]></link><description><![CDATA[A house that does not have one warm, comfy chair in it is soulless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of the men on my staff can type. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27038]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of the men on my staff can type.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27038</guid></item></channel></rss>
