Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated.

You comfort us in sorrow and bind up our wounds:  in sickness you nurse us,  and with pure milk you feed us. Jesus, by your dying we are born to new life:  by your anguish and labour we come forth in joy. Despair turns to hope through your sweet goodness:  through your gentleness we find comfort in fear. Your warmth gives life to the dead:  your touch makes sinners righteous. Lord Jesus, in your mercy heal us:  in your love and tenderness remake us. In your compassion bring grace and forgiveness:  for the beauty of heaven may your love prepare us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Separate we come, and separate we go, And this be it known, is all that we know ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32121]]></link><description><![CDATA[Separate we come, and separate we go, And this be it known, is all that we know]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Football players, like prostitutes, are in the business of ruining their bodies for the pleasure of strangers ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Football players, like prostitutes, are in the business of ruining their bodies for the pleasure of strangers]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny: they have only shifted it to another shoulder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny: they have only shifted it to another shoulder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me that after 12 years of lawlessness and disorder that we would be able to hold an ideal democratic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28995]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me that after 12 years of lawlessness and disorder that we would be able to hold an ideal democratic election in just a year or two.
