Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light, And, list'ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain His own "All hail!" and, hearing, May raise the victor strain. Now let the heav'ns be joyful, Let earth her song begin, Let the round world keep triumph And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend; For Christ the Lord has risen -- Our Joy that has no end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that's long a giving, knowes not how to give. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49416]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that's long a giving, knowes not how to give.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let not him that feares feathers come among wild-foule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let not him that feares feathers come among wild-foule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of the proposals were for marine liability insurance.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is happy for you that possess the talent of pleasing with delicacy.
