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[My guys didn't come on time to get taped, so the five guys that were here started.

Blessed hills, that heard the song Of the glorious angel-throng, Swelling all your slopes along. Happy shepherds, on whose ear Fell the tidings glad and dear, "God to man is drawing near." Happy, happy, Bethlehem, Judah's least but brightest gem, Where the rod from Jesse's stem, Scion of a princely race, Sprung in Heaven's own perfect grace, Yet in feeble lowliness. This, the woman's promised seed, Abram's mighty Son indeed; Succourer of earth's great need. This the victor in our war, This the glory see afar, This the light of Jacob's star! Happy Judah, rise and own Him the heir of David's throne David's Lord, and David's Son. Let the dayspring from on high. That arose in Judah's sky. Cover earth eternally. Babe of Bethlehem, to Thee, Infant of eternity, Everlasting glory be!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret forthe things we did not do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret forthe things we did not do that is inconsolable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Considering the enormous range of human knowledge, from intimate personal knowledge of specific individuals to the complexities of organizations and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Considering the enormous range of human knowledge, from intimate personal knowledge of specific individuals to the complexities of organizations and the subtleties of feelings, it is remarkable that one speck in this firmament should be the sole determinant of whether someone is considered knowledgeable or ignorant in general.
