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[You don't choose your family.
