Races and peoples, lo, we stand divided,  And, sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;  By wars and tumults love is mocked, derided  His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear. Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded, Nation by nation still goes unforgiven, In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,  Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven. Lust of possession worketh desolations;  There is no meekness in the sons of earth;  Led by no star, the rulers of the nations  Still fail to bring us to the blissful birth: How shall we love Thee, holy hidden Being,  If we love not the world which Thou hast made?  O give us brother-love for better seeing  Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clearly no group can as an entity create ideas.

Work and worship literally become one. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever; and man carries out that function when he does what God sent him into the world to do. Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A peaceful mind generates power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22634]]></link><description><![CDATA[A peaceful mind generates power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22634</guid></item></channel></rss>
