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[Defeat never comes to any man until he admits it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Defeat never comes to any man until he admits it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16990]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19381]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The storm passed by my shop, and I had to escape from the shower of stones, tear gas and rubber ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28311]]></link><description><![CDATA[The storm passed by my shop, and I had to escape from the shower of stones, tear gas and rubber bullets to save my life,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the same, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  Prayer is co-operation with God.

It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...  Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a cropping-time in the races of men, as in the fruits of the field; and sometimes, if the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24832]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a cropping-time in the races of men, as in the fruits of the field; and sometimes, if the stock be good, there springs up for a time a succession of splendid men; and then comes a period of barrenness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ageism is the most pervasive form of prejudice in Britain today, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ageism is the most pervasive form of prejudice in Britain today,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis a word that's quickly spoken, Which being unrestrained, a heart is broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62035]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis a word that's quickly spoken, Which being unrestrained, a heart is broken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes.
