It was the sight of Thy dear cross First weaned my soul from earthly things; And taught me to esteem as dross The mirth of fools, and pomp of kings. I want that grace that springs from Thee, That quickens all things where it flows; And makes a wretched thorn like me Bloom as the myrtle or the rose. Dear fountain of delight unknown! No longer sink beneath the brim, But overflow, and pour me down A living and life-giving stream! For sure, if all the plants that share The notice of Thy Father's eye, None proves less grateful to His care, Or yields Him meaner fruit than I.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not enough to say we must not wage war.

Stipendiary clergy cut off by training and life from that common experience are constantly struggling to get close to the laity by wearing lay clothing, sharing in lay amusements, and organizing lay clubs; but they never quite succeed. To get close to men, it is necessary really to share their experience, and to share their experience is to share it by being in it, not merely to come as near to it as possible without being in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being selected to guide this historic property through its next phase of development is an honor and an exciting opportunity. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being selected to guide this historic property through its next phase of development is an honor and an exciting opportunity.

The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The entire essence of America is the hope to first make money -- then make money with money -- then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15828]]></link><description><![CDATA[The entire essence of America is the hope to first make money -- then make money with money -- then make lots of money with lots of money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pigmies placed on the shoulders of giants see more than the giants themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pigmies placed on the shoulders of giants see more than the giants themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cat is above all things, a dramatist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12818]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cat is above all things, a dramatist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't worry if it's cold; you can't worry if it's hot; you only worry if you get sick.
