Races and peoples, lo, we stand divided,  And, sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;  By wars and tumults love is mocked, derided  His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear. Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded, Nation by nation still goes unforgiven, In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,  Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven. Lust of possession worketh desolations;  There is no meekness in the sons of earth;  Led by no star, the rulers of the nations  Still fail to bring us to the blissful birth: How shall we love Thee, holy hidden Being,  If we love not the world which Thou hast made?  O give us brother-love for better seeing  Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944    The principle of sacrifice is that we choose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944    The principle of sacrifice is that we choose to do or to suffer what apart from our love we should not choose to do or to suffer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just want us to be known as a football team, ...
