God forbid that we would have to use the blood of America to freshen the color of the flag. But if it should ever be necessary, that flag will be colored once more, and in being colored will be glorified and purified.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little, vicious minds abound with anger and revenge, and are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Little, vicious minds abound with anger and revenge, and are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still have a refining issue.

Whether this deity be true or false, the temple as such becomes a meeting-place for people who desire to worship as they understand it. For the ancient Hebrews, the Temple in Jerusalem was the house of God, the place where God dwelt symbolically, and met with people who came to worship. Jesus called it "My Father's house." For the Christian, the word 'church' has become the symbol for the edifice built and dedicated for the worship of God. But unless it is so dedicated and so used, it may be considered only a mere building or club-house. However beautiful its design and architecture, a church is a true temple only as it is frequented by God's people who come to "worship Him in spirit and in truth," and who there hold forth "the word of life." (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever he did, was done with so much ease, In him alone 'twas natural to please. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever he did, was done with so much ease, In him alone 'twas natural to please.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities.
