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[Every game we had was important to stay in the hunt.
