And make this house thy home; Descend with all thy gracious powers;  O come, great spirit, come! Come as the light; to us reveal  Our emptiness and woe; And lead us in the paths of life  Where all the righteous go. Come as the wind: sweep clean away  What dead within us lies, And search and freshen all our souls  With living energies.  Come as the fire: and purge our hearts  Like sacrificial flame; Let our whole soul as offering be  To our redeemer's name. Spirit divine, attend our prayers,  Make a lost world thy home; Descend with all thy gracious powers:  O come, great Spirit, come!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes opportunity knocks, but most of the time it sneaks up and then quietly steals away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes opportunity knocks, but most of the time it sneaks up and then quietly steals away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ripest fruit first falls, and so doth he; His time is spent, our pilgrimage must be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51503]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ripest fruit first falls, and so doth he; His time is spent, our pilgrimage must be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the child of Nature; yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the child of Nature; yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under this bill, Duke Cunningham still would be able to get away with trading bribes for earmarks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under this bill, Duke Cunningham still would be able to get away with trading bribes for earmarks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He reminds me of the man who murdered both his parents, and then when sentence was about to be pronounced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23602]]></link><description><![CDATA[He reminds me of the man who murdered both his parents, and then when sentence was about to be pronounced pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes. -George Soros.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Satire is tragedy plus time.
