Tie in a living tether  The prince and priest and thrall; Bind all our lives together,  Smite us and save us all; In ire and exultation  Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation,  A single sword to Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never dreamed I'd be honored for something that I've enjoyed so much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37955]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never dreamed I'd be honored for something that I've enjoyed so much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cruel Remorse! where Youth and Pleasure sport, And thoughtless Folly keeps her court,--  Crouching 'midst rosy bowers thou lurk'st ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cruel Remorse! where Youth and Pleasure sport, And thoughtless Folly keeps her court,--  Crouching 'midst rosy bowers thou lurk'st unseen   Slumbering the festal hours away,    While Youth disports in that enchanting scene;     Till on some fated day      Thou with a tiger-spring dost leap upon thy prey,       And tear his helpless breast, o'erwhelmed with wild dismay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why not be silent, patient, and watchful like a photographer? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why not be silent, patient, and watchful like a photographer?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The finest edge is made with the blunt whetstone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The finest edge is made with the blunt whetstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a worthless conversation, provided you know what to listen for.
