So, o'er the hills of life, stormy, forlorn, Out of the cloud and strife sunrise is born; Swift grows the light for us, Ended is night for us,  Soundless and bright for us breaketh God's morn. Hear we no beat of drums, fanfare, nor cry, When Christ the herald comes quietly nigh; Splendor He makes on earth; Color awakes on earth;  Suddenly breaks on earth light from the sky. Bid then farewell to sleep: rise up and run! What though the hill be steep? Strength's in the sun. Now you shall find at last Night's left behind at last,  And for mankind at last, Day has begun!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart resolves this matter in a trice, "Men only feel the smart, but not the vice." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60508]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart resolves this matter in a trice, "Men only feel the smart, but not the vice."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But since the world, which thou art to strive against, is not without thee, but within thee, it follows, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38315]]></link><description><![CDATA[But since the world, which thou art to strive against, is not without thee, but within thee, it follows, that it is also to be conquered not without, but within thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5717]]></link><description><![CDATA[When thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Space, like time, engenders forgetfulness; but it does so by setting us bodily free from our surroundings and giving us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Space, like time, engenders forgetfulness; but it does so by setting us bodily free from our surroundings and giving us back our primitive, unattached state]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suspicion is a mental picture seen through an imaginary keyhole ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suspicion is a mental picture seen through an imaginary keyhole]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They only fall, that strive to move, Or lose, that care to keep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12072]]></link><description><![CDATA[They only fall, that strive to move, Or lose, that care to keep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tenderness is a virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tenderness is a virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[October's child is born for woe, And life's vicissitudes must know;  But lay on Opal on her breast,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23254]]></link><description><![CDATA[October's child is born for woe, And life's vicissitudes must know;  But lay on Opal on her breast,   And hope will lull those woes to rest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You kiss away her tears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50537]]></link><description><![CDATA[You kiss away her tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 'CSI effect' is not something that we're happy about, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33079]]></link><description><![CDATA[The 'CSI effect' is not something that we're happy about,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If that's true and the rate stays like that for another 40 years, there's a good probability that somebody who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39708]]></link><description><![CDATA[If that's true and the rate stays like that for another 40 years, there's a good probability that somebody who is active in the credit economy for that period of time might be a victim.

It has been the largest single factor in combating, on a world-wide scale, such ancient foes of man as war, famine, and the exploitation of one race by another. More than any other religion, it has made for the dignity of human personality. This it has done by a power inherent within it of lifting lives from selfishness, spiritual mediocrity, and moral defeat and disintegration, to unselfish achievement and contagious moral and spiritual power and by the high value which it set upon every human soul through the possibilities which it held out of endless growth in fellowship with the eternal God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Tyndale, Translator of the Scriptures, Martyr, 1536   [William Tyndale] was a master of a simple ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Tyndale, Translator of the Scriptures, Martyr, 1536   [William Tyndale] was a master of a simple and forceful literary style. This, combined with exactness and breadth of scholarship, led him so to translate the Greek New Testament into English as largely to determine the character, form, and style of the Authorized Version. There have been some painstaking calculations to determine just how large a part Tyndale may have had in the production of the version of 1611. A comparison of Tyndale's version of I John and that of the Authorized Version shows that nine-tenths of the latter is retained from the martyred translator's work. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians retains five-sixths of Tyndale's translation. These proportions are maintained throughout the entire New Testament. Such an influence as that upon the English Bible cannot be attributed to any other man in all the past. More than that, Tyndale set a standard for the English language that molded in part the character and style of the tongue during the great Elizabethan era and all subsequent time. He gave the language fixity, volubleness, grace, beauty, simplicity, and directness. His influence as a man of letters was permanent on the style and literary taste of the English people, and of all who admire the superiority and epochal character of the literature of the sixteenth century.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The central paradox of the machines that have made our lives so much brighter, quicker, longer and healthier is that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64411]]></link><description><![CDATA[The central paradox of the machines that have made our lives so much brighter, quicker, longer and healthier is that they cannot teach us how to make the best use of them; the information revolution came without an instruction manual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A painter paints, a musician plays, a writer writes - but a movie actor waits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42073]]></link><description><![CDATA[A painter paints, a musician plays, a writer writes - but a movie actor waits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as much as the dog does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12676]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as much as the dog does.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot have the success without the failures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15751]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot have the success without the failures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it more fit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27765]]></link><description><![CDATA[To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it more fit for its prime function of looking forward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is really a lovely horse, I once rode her mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57574]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is really a lovely horse, I once rode her mother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My father had never lost his temper with us, never beaten us, but we had for him that feeling often ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8414]]></link><description><![CDATA[My father had never lost his temper with us, never beaten us, but we had for him that feeling often described as fear, which is something quite different and far deeper than alarm. It was that sense which, without irreverence, I have thought to find expressed by the great evangelists when they speak of the fear of God. One does not fear God because He is terrible, but because He is literally the soul of goodness and truth, because to do Him wrong is to do wrong to some mysterious part of oneself, and one does not know exactly what the consequences may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For, bless the gude mon, gin he had his ain way, He's na let a cat on the Sabbath say ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54593]]></link><description><![CDATA[For, bless the gude mon, gin he had his ain way, He's na let a cat on the Sabbath say "mew;"  Nae birdie maun whistle, nae lambie maun play,   An' Phoebus himsel' could na travel that day,    As he'd find a new Joshua in Andie Agnew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54593</guid></item></channel></rss>
