Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like the contact, ...

Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocre men often have the most acquired knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocre men often have the most acquired knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let deeds match words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let deeds match words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But woman's grief is like a summer storm, Short as it violent is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61925]]></link><description><![CDATA[But woman's grief is like a summer storm, Short as it violent is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was also involved in the destruction of Kuwait, looting, pillage, killing, torturing, and taking hostages in Kuwait during the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29835]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was also involved in the destruction of Kuwait, looting, pillage, killing, torturing, and taking hostages in Kuwait during the invasion of '91,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   Who is there that ever receives a gift ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it?
