And make this house thy home; Descend with all thy gracious powers;  O come, great spirit, come! Come as the light; to us reveal  Our emptiness and woe; And lead us in the paths of life  Where all the righteous go. Come as the wind: sweep clean away  What dead within us lies, And search and freshen all our souls  With living energies.  Come as the fire: and purge our hearts  Like sacrificial flame; Let our whole soul as offering be  To our redeemer's name. Spirit divine, attend our prayers,  Make a lost world thy home; Descend with all thy gracious powers:  O come, great Spirit, come!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe we are in a grace period. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39096]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maybe we are in a grace period.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civium in moribus rei publicae salus [The welfare of the state (depends upon) the morals of its citizens] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43281]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civium in moribus rei publicae salus [The welfare of the state (depends upon) the morals of its citizens]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her pretty action did outsell her gift, And yet enriched it too.
