I plucked the thorn and offered it to Thee, And for my thorn Thou gavest love and peace,  Not joy this mortal morn:  If Thou hast given much treasure for a thorn, Wilt Thou not give me for my rose increase Of gladness, and all sweets to me? My thorny rose, my love and pain, to Thee I offer, and I set my heart in peace,  And rest upon my thorn:  For verily I think to-morrow morn Shall bring me Paradise, my gift's increase, Yea, give Thy very Self to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We could be into mid-July until we see the Dow break that record.

It thus comes about that in practice it is regularly the theoretical collectivist who extols individual reason and demands that all forces of society be made subject to the direction of a single mastermind, while it is the individualist who recognizes the limitations of the powers of individual reason and consequently advocates freedom as a means for the fullest development of the powers of the interindividual process.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a vast difference between saying prayers and praying ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48030]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a vast difference between saying prayers and praying]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every human life involves an unfathomable mystery, for man is the riddle of the universe, and the riddle of man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every human life involves an unfathomable mystery, for man is the riddle of the universe, and the riddle of man in his endowment with personal capacities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not saying he's going to get a pass.

Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no expeditious road To pack and label men for God,  And save them by the barrel-load.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45473]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no expeditious road To pack and label men for God,  And save them by the barrel-load.   Some may perchance, with strange surprise,    Have blundered into Paradise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65941]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all - he's walking on them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Risk!
