Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56905]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2215]]></link><description><![CDATA[We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful.

Some followers of the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannnot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and Man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golden Bill!
