To us a Child is born, To us a Son is given;   Bless, bless the blessed morn! O happy, lowly lofty birth, Now God, our God, has come to earth! Rejoice, our God has come!   In love and lowliness; The Son of God has come   The sons of men to bless. God with us now descend to dwell, God in our flesh, Immanuel. Praise ye the word made flesh!   True God, true man is He. Praise ye the Christ of God!   To Him all glory be. Praise ye the Lamb that once was slain, Praise ye the king that comes to reign.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no talks going on, and CNN is not for sale.

The masses teeming and happy -- common clay, if you like -- eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead.

Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because in herself she is nothing, but is ruled ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16603]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because in herself she is nothing, but is ruled by prudence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foundation of justice is good faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23600]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foundation of justice is good faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The team never quit, and three team members played an exceptional game, all over the field. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35226]]></link><description><![CDATA[The team never quit, and three team members played an exceptional game, all over the field.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Books," said St. Augustine after his conversion, "could not teach me charity."

We still keep on thinking they can. We do not realize ... the utter distinctness of God and the things of God. Psychology of religion can not teach us prayer, and ethics cannot teach us love. Only Christ can do that, and He teaches by the direct method, in and among the circumstances of life. He does not mind about our being comfortable. He wants us to be strong, able to tackle life and be Christians, be apostles in life, so we must be trained by the ups and downs, the rough-and-tumble of life. Team games are compulsory in the school of Divine Love -- there is no getting into a corner with a nice, spiritual book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, the croaking raven doth bellow for revenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, the croaking raven doth bellow for revenge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever controls the media - the images - controls the culture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever controls the media - the images - controls the culture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With five minutes to go at a timeout, I looked down and everybody was gasping for air.
