O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable,   In whom all joys are found:  When once you visit darkened hearts   Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs,   Then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more! Oh, may our tongues forever bless,   May we love you alone  And ever in our lives express   The image of your own!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The country and the Congress were misled into war.

He called for the love of our enemies, not their destruction; ... for readiness to suffer instead of using force; for forgiveness instead of hate and revenge. One might even say [that] Jesus was more revolutionary than the revolutionaries, or revolutionary in a very different way. The revolution he had in mind was a radical change of heart on the part of mankind, involving conversion away from selfishness and toward the willing service of God and of people in general.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instinct is action taken in pursuance of a purpose, but without conscious perception of what the purpose is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instinct is action taken in pursuance of a purpose, but without conscious perception of what the purpose is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ability to accept responsibility is the measure of the man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ability to accept responsibility is the measure of the man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you haven't got the time to do it right, when will you find the time to do it over? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14521]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you haven't got the time to do it right, when will you find the time to do it over?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ty it well, and let it goe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ty it well, and let it goe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
