For him shall endless prayer be made,  And princes throng to crown his head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant-voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoners leap to lose their chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring Honors peculiar to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963   I do not think I am fanciful in discerning among some of those who most earnestly plead against the Christian social movement a feeling that there is something fundamentally intractable, inscrutable, mysterious about the world, and that no more can be hoped for than an heroic protest in the name of Christ, made in obedience but with no sort of hope that anything can come of it. I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[has destroyed the whole base of life for people and other creatures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35608]]></link><description><![CDATA[has destroyed the whole base of life for people and other creatures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Important principles may and must be inflexible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Important principles may and must be inflexible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like trying [to get pregnant].
