Now hath my life across a stormy sea  Like a frail bark reached that wide port where all  Are bidden, ere the final reckoning fall Of good and evil for eternity. Now know I well how that fond phantasy  Which made my soul the worshipper and thrall  Of earthly art, is vain; how criminal Is that which all men seek unwillingly. Those amorous thoughts which were so lightly dressed,  What are they when the double death is nigh?  The one I know for sure, the other dread. Painting nor sculpture now can lull to rest  My soul that turns to His great love on high,  Whose arms to clasp us on the cross were spread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is the flower for which love is the honey. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is the flower for which love is the honey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't approach a goat from the front, a horse from the back, or a fool from any side. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't approach a goat from the front, a horse from the back, or a fool from any side.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can laugh together, you can work together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58772]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can laugh together, you can work together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never completed high school and I am very rich and very successful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5392]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never completed high school and I am very rich and very successful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hath the pearl less whiteness Because of its birth?  Hath the violet less brightness   For growing near ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60717]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hath the pearl less whiteness Because of its birth?  Hath the violet less brightness   For growing near earth?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63601]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still read with exactness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Man is challenged to participate in the sufferings of God at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Man is challenged to participate in the sufferings of God at the hands of a godless world. He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three groups spend other people's money: children, thieves, politicians.

Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gaither came in ranked nationally so we came out here tonight like we had nothing to lose.
