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[The moon looks upon many night flowers; the night flowers see but one moon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43083]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moon looks upon many night flowers; the night flowers see but one moon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the core of every moral code there is a picture of human nature, a map of the universe, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53504]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the core of every moral code there is a picture of human nature, a map of the universe, and a version of history.

Men of the breaking hearts had a quality about them not known to or understood by common men. They habitually spoke with spiritual authority. They had been in the Presence of God and they reported what they saw there. They were prophets, not scribes: for the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen. The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen, there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes; but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man turns chance into good fortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22310]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man turns chance into good fortune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last season, we basically put a lot of pressure on ourselves.
