From all that terror teaches,  From lies of tongue and pen; From all the easy speeches  That comfort cruel men; From sale and profanation  Of honor and the sword; From sleep and from damnation,  Deliver us, good Lord! 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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mountain sheep are sweeter, But the valley sheep are fatter.  We therefore deemed it meeter   To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56163]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mountain sheep are sweeter, But the valley sheep are fatter.  We therefore deemed it meeter   To carry off the latter.   - Thomas Love Peacock,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe we can and should have it all.

It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inward rest... gives an air of leisure to [Christ's] crowded life: above all, there is in this Man a secret ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inward rest... gives an air of leisure to [Christ's] crowded life: above all, there is in this Man a secret and a power of dealing with the waste-products of life, the waste of pain, disappointment, enmity, death -- turning to divine uses the abuses of man, transforming arid places of pain to fruitfulness, triumphing at last in death, and making a short life of thirty years or so, abruptly cut off, to be a "finished" life.
