The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots.

But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In labouring to be concise, I become obscure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4878]]></link><description><![CDATA[In labouring to be concise, I become obscure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is suffering so very serious?

I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime -- I'm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It's extremely painful. I agree that it's hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. It's no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've gotten to know John Kerry since the primaries.

What does that mean? If the law were physical, then it could be satisfied by works, but since it is spiritual, no one can satisfy it unless everything he does springs from the depths of the heart. But no one can give such a heart except the Spirit of God, who makes the person be like the law, so that he actually conceives a heartfelt longing for the law and henceforward does everything, not through fear or coercion, but from a free heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has been much tragedy in my life; at least half of it actually happend. -Mark Twain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24939]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has been much tragedy in my life; at least half of it actually happend. -Mark Twain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played even with one of the best teams in the state for 16 minutes.
