What heavy burdens from our bosoms take,  What parched ground refresh as with a shower! We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all, the distant and the near, Stands forth in sunny outline brave and clear; We kneel, how weak! we rise, how full of power! Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,  Or other, that we are not always strong, That we are ever overborne with care, That we should ever weak or heratless be, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy and strength and courage are with Thee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the 10th of July 1553, about two hours after noon, a loud discharge of ordnance burst from the turrets ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4630]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the 10th of July 1553, about two hours after noon, a loud discharge of ordnance burst from the turrets of Durham House, then the residence of the Duke of Northumberland, grandmaster of the realm, and occupying the site of the modern range of buildings known as the Adelphi; and at the signal, which was immediately answered from every point along the river where a bombard or culverin could be planted-- . . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll probably grow pretty dramatically in the next 12 months. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31456]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll probably grow pretty dramatically in the next 12 months.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enjoy thankfully any happy hour heaven may send you, nor think that your delights will keep till another year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enjoy thankfully any happy hour heaven may send you, nor think that your delights will keep till another year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All women become like their mothers.

It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rain in the Ukrainefalls mainlynot on the plains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/217]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rain in the Ukrainefalls mainlynot on the plains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would like to say that the officials, our school administration and our school police did an outstanding job of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42467]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would like to say that the officials, our school administration and our school police did an outstanding job of controlling the situation.
