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[Alcohol is a very necessary article . . . .

Certainly Jeremiah was no integrated personality. It is doubtful if... he ever knew the meaning of the word "peace". We have no evidence that his internal struggle was ever ended, although the passing years no doubt brought an increasing acceptance of destiny. Jeremiah, if his "confessions" are any index, needed a course in pastoral psychiatry in the very worst way... The feeling cannot be escaped that if Jeremiah had been integrated, it would have been at the cost of ceasing to be Jeremiah! A man at peace simply could not be a Jeremiah. Spiritual health is good; mental assurance is good; but the summons of faith is neither to an integrated personality nor to the laying-by of all questions, but to the dedication of personality -- with all its fears and questions -- to its duty and destiny under God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always divide people into two groups.

This sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers progress. Innovation "is the whim of an elite before it becomes a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of tomorrow." Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A joy that's shared is a joy made double. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23439]]></link><description><![CDATA[A joy that's shared is a joy made double.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people talk of morality, and some of religion, but give me a little snug property. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people talk of morality, and some of religion, but give me a little snug property.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They know the time to go! The fairy clocks strike their inaudible hour  In field and woodland, and each ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16261]]></link><description><![CDATA[They know the time to go! The fairy clocks strike their inaudible hour  In field and woodland, and each punctual flower   Bows at the signal an obedient head    And hastens to bed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10701]]></link><description><![CDATA[The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Occupy yourself, and you will be out of harm's way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Occupy yourself, and you will be out of harm's way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is the best of schoolmasters, only the school-fees are heavy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58017]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is the best of schoolmasters, only the school-fees are heavy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Procrastination is like Masturbation; In the end you're just screwing yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Procrastination is like Masturbation; In the end you're just screwing yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin hath the devil for its father, shame for its companion, and death for its wages ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin hath the devil for its father, shame for its companion, and death for its wages]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Valor, gradually overpowered by the delicious poison of sloth, grows torpid. [Lat., Blandoque veneno  Desidiae virtus paullatim evicta senescit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20338]]></link><description><![CDATA[Valor, gradually overpowered by the delicious poison of sloth, grows torpid. [Lat., Blandoque veneno  Desidiae virtus paullatim evicta senescit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll never get mixed up if you simply tell the truth.
