So, o'er the hills of life, stormy, forlorn, Out of the cloud and strife sunrise is born; Swift grows the light for us, Ended is night for us,  Soundless and bright for us breaketh God's morn. Hear we no beat of drums, fanfare, nor cry, When Christ the herald comes quietly nigh; Splendor He makes on earth; Color awakes on earth;  Suddenly breaks on earth light from the sky. Bid then farewell to sleep: rise up and run! What though the hill be steep? Strength's in the sun. Now you shall find at last Night's left behind at last,  And for mankind at last, Day has begun!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That old saying, how you always hurt the one you love, well, it works both ways ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43324]]></link><description><![CDATA[That old saying, how you always hurt the one you love, well, it works both ways]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never say "Fail" again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never say "Fail" again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enemies are so stimulating. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enemies are so stimulating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't let something that doesn't matter cause you to lose something that does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't let something that doesn't matter cause you to lose something that does.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In charity to all mankind, bearing no malice or ill-will to any human being, and even compassionating those who hold ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5684]]></link><description><![CDATA[In charity to all mankind, bearing no malice or ill-will to any human being, and even compassionating those who hold in bondage their fellow-men, not knowing what they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47864]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can say I was associated with the success of those other films that debuted at #1, I was in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29507]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can say I was associated with the success of those other films that debuted at #1, I was in it as number 3 guy or number 4 guy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The speed of the leader is the speed of the gang. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42063]]></link><description><![CDATA[The speed of the leader is the speed of the gang.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm gonna retire but I'm not gonna retire totally from the music.
