Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61013]]></link><description><![CDATA[Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64783]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more faith I have in Providence, and the less faith in my interpretation of Providence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51904]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more faith I have in Providence, and the less faith in my interpretation of Providence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some credit in being jolly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some credit in being jolly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am responsible.
