The heir of heaven, henceforth I fear not death: In Christ I live! in Christ I draw the breath Of the true life! -- let then earth, sea, and sky Make war against me! On my front I show Their mighty Master's seal. In vain they try To end my life, that can but end its woe. Is that a death-bed where a Christian lies? Yes, but not his -- 'tis Death itself there dies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of two evils choose the least. [Lat., E duobus malis minimum eligendum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of two evils choose the least. [Lat., E duobus malis minimum eligendum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let a man turn to his own childhood -- no further -- if he will renew his sense of remoteness, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let a man turn to his own childhood -- no further -- if he will renew his sense of remoteness, and of the mystery of change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All our sweetest hours fly fastest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51781]]></link><description><![CDATA[All our sweetest hours fly fastest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I go to see the sun for the last time. [Fr., Je m'em vais voir le soleil pour la derniere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24122]]></link><description><![CDATA[I go to see the sun for the last time. [Fr., Je m'em vais voir le soleil pour la derniere fois.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've done it before and you can do it now.

One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is known when needed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29554]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is known when needed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foundation of family - that\'s where it all begins for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66741]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foundation of family - that\'s where it all begins for me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to get up late and be wide awake than to get up early and be asleep all day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56646]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to get up late and be wide awake than to get up early and be asleep all day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  We implore the mercy of God, not that He may leave ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  We implore the mercy of God, not that He may leave us at peace in our vices, but that He may deliver us from them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's enough to send shivers down your spine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29169]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's enough to send shivers down your spine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You learn something every day if you pay attention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24508]]></link><description><![CDATA[You learn something every day if you pay attention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This paper will no doubt be found interesting by those who take an interest in it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22950]]></link><description><![CDATA[This paper will no doubt be found interesting by those who take an interest in it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest.
