And Rome in ruin while Nero laughs and sings:  Ye actors of a drama, cruel and cold,  Your names are by-words in Love's temple now,  Your pomp and glory but a winding-sheet;  Then Christ came scorning regal power and gold  To wear warm blood-drops on a willing brow,  And we, in love, forever kiss His feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I'm not thank'd at all, I'm thank'd enough: I've done my duty, and I've done no more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13053]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I'm not thank'd at all, I'm thank'd enough: I've done my duty, and I've done no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For reasons which many persons thought ridiculous, Mrs. Lightfoot Lee decided to pass the winter in Washington. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4623]]></link><description><![CDATA[For reasons which many persons thought ridiculous, Mrs. Lightfoot Lee decided to pass the winter in Washington.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're sheep.

Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never tell a loved one of an infidelity: you would be badly rewarded for your troubles.
