How tangled are our straightest ways; How dimly flares our brightest star; How earthbound is our highest praise To Thee, who sees us as we are. Our feet are slow where Thine are fast; Thy kiss of grace meets lips of stone; And we admit Thy love at last To hearts that have none of their own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flag of the free heart's hope and home! By angel hands to valour given,  Thy stars have lit the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flag of the free heart's hope and home! By angel hands to valour given,  Thy stars have lit the welkin dome;   And all thy hues were born in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will show myself highly fed and lowly taught. -All 's Well that Ends Well.

To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou didst swear to me upon a parcel-gilt goblet, sitting in my Dolphin-chamber, at the round table, by a sea-coal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou didst swear to me upon a parcel-gilt goblet, sitting in my Dolphin-chamber, at the round table, by a sea-coal fire, upon Wednesday in Wheeson week. -King Henry IV.
