O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable,   In whom all joys are found:  When once you visit darkened hearts   Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs,   Then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more! Oh, may our tongues forever bless,   May we love you alone  And ever in our lives express   The image of your own!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men are they who see that the spiritual is stronger than any material force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men are they who see that the spiritual is stronger than any material force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tool is but the extension of a man's hand, and a machine is but a complex tool.
