Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How these curiosities would be quite forgot, did not such idle fellows as I am put them down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38820]]></link><description><![CDATA[How these curiosities would be quite forgot, did not such idle fellows as I am put them down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest act of faith is when man admits he is not god. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15004]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest act of faith is when man admits he is not god.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The proud daughter of that monarch to whom when it grows [elsewhere] the sun never sets. [Lat., Altera figlia  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47766]]></link><description><![CDATA[The proud daughter of that monarch to whom when it grows [elsewhere] the sun never sets. [Lat., Altera figlia  Di quel monarea a cui   Ne anco, quando annotta, il Sol tramonta.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the silence between the notes that makes the music; it is the space between the bars that holds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44674]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the silence between the notes that makes the music; it is the space between the bars that holds the tiger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you hit a shot at the end of a quarter or a half, that gives you a lot of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31278]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you hit a shot at the end of a quarter or a half, that gives you a lot of momentum if the game is close.
