Earth, tell it out abroad; The passover of gladness,  The passover of God. From death to life eternal, From this world to the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light, And, list'ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain His own "All hail!" and, hearing, May raise the victor strain. Now let the heav'ns be joyful, Let earth her song begin, Let the round world keep triumph And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend; For Christ the Lord has risen -- Our Joy that has no end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a condition which confronts us--not a theory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46952]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a condition which confronts us--not a theory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public opinion controls the courses of the nation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The clearsighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46077]]></link><description><![CDATA[The clearsighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The "now" wherein God made the first man, and the "now" wherein the last man disappears, and the "now" I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8401]]></link><description><![CDATA[The "now" wherein God made the first man, and the "now" wherein the last man disappears, and the "now" I am speaking in, all are the same in God, where this is but the now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We lost the American colonies because we lacked the statesmanship to know the right time and the manner of yielding ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62512]]></link><description><![CDATA[We lost the American colonies because we lacked the statesmanship to know the right time and the manner of yielding what is impossible to keep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[December drops no weak, relenting tear, By our fond Summer sympathies ensnared,  Nor from the perfect circle of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11566]]></link><description><![CDATA[December drops no weak, relenting tear, By our fond Summer sympathies ensnared,  Nor from the perfect circle of the year   Can even Winter's crystal gems be spared.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Private sector credit from 1999 through the first half of 2001 was adding $1.2 trillion per year.
