Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light, And, list'ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain His own "All hail!" and, hearing, May raise the victor strain. Now let the heav'ns be joyful, Let earth her song begin, Let the round world keep triumph And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend; For Christ the Lord has risen -- Our Joy that has no end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Negotiations are still going on.

This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That guy has been a rock all year and I don't have to think twice about his game.
