Earth, tell it out abroad; The passover of gladness,  The passover of God. From death to life eternal, From this world to the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. 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[You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21202]]></link><description><![CDATA[You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62097]]></link><description><![CDATA[To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They asked me why we were open, I said it was pressure from the public. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39705]]></link><description><![CDATA[They asked me why we were open, I said it was pressure from the public.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For ever and a day. -As You Like It.

Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last ten years we have come to realize humans are more like worms than we ever imagined. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30741]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last ten years we have come to realize humans are more like worms than we ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65693]]></link><description><![CDATA[And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In comparison to a prior study that we did among male physicians, the risk of sudden cardiac death during vigorous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31786]]></link><description><![CDATA[In comparison to a prior study that we did among male physicians, the risk of sudden cardiac death during vigorous exertion was approximately 19 times higher in men than in women.

And man would praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures; yea, man, though he bears about with him his mortality, the proof of his sin, the proof that Thou, O God, dost resist the proud, yet would man praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures. Thou dost prompt us thereto, making it a joy to praise Thee; for Thou hast created us unto Thyself, and our heart finds no rest until it rests in Thee. Grant me, O Lord, to know and understand which comes first, to call upon Thee, or to praise Thee, and which comes first, to know Thee or to call upon Thee.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    August 29, 1998  Instead of pursuing her appointed path of separation, persecution, world-hatred, poverty, and non-resistance, [the Church] has used... Scripture to justify her in lowering her purpose to the civilization of the world, the acquisition of wealth, the use of an imposing ritual, the erection of magnificent churches, the invocation of God's blessing upon the conflicts of armies, and the division of an equal brotherhood into "clergy" and "laity".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does.
