Sing, creatures, sing; the dust that lives by lure and lust Is kindled by the thrust of life undying; This hope our Master bare has made all fortunes fair, And man can on and dare, his death defying. After the winter snows a wind of healing blows, And thorns put forth a rose, and lilies cheer us; Life's everlasting spring has robbed death of his sting, Henceforth a cry can bring our Master near us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a marvelous feeling when someone says "I want to do this song of yours" because they've connected to it. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43525]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a marvelous feeling when someone says "I want to do this song of yours" because they've connected to it.

It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear.
