Like ships storm-driven into port, like starving souls that seek the bread they once despised, like wanderers begging refuge from the whelming night, like prodigals that seek the father's home when all is spent;  yet welcomed at the open door, arms outstretched and kisses for our shame;  so is our coming unto Thee, 0 God. Like flowers uplifted to the sun, like trees that bend before the storm, like sleeping seas that mirror cloudless skies, like a harp to the hand, like an echo to a cry, like a song to the heart;  for all our stubbornness, our failure, and our sin:  so would we have been to Thee, O God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In blissful dream, in silent night, There came to me, with magic might,  With magic might, my own sweet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12874]]></link><description><![CDATA[In blissful dream, in silent night, There came to me, with magic might,  With magic might, my own sweet love,   Into my little room above.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May I govern my passions with absolute sway, And grow wiser and better as my strength wears away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45612]]></link><description><![CDATA[May I govern my passions with absolute sway, And grow wiser and better as my strength wears away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not really religious but very spiritual.

They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.

The crimes of Caligula shrink to insignificance compared to the havoc wrought by Torquemada. The number of victims of robbers, highwaymen, rapists, gangsters and other criminals at any period of history is negligible compared to the massive numbers of those cheerfully slain in the name of the true religion, just policy, or correct ideology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The poet is in the end probably more afraid of the dogmatist who wants to extract the message from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46778]]></link><description><![CDATA[The poet is in the end probably more afraid of the dogmatist who wants to extract the message from the poem and throw the poem away than he is of the sentimentalist who says, "Oh, just let me enjoy the poem.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Manfred: Let's get something straight, ok?
