From all that terror teaches,  From lies of tongue and pen; From all the easy speeches  That comfort cruel men; From sale and profanation  Of honor and the sword; From sleep and from damnation,  Deliver us, good Lord! Tie in a living tether  The prince and priest and thrall; Bind all our lives together,  Smite us and save us all; In ire and exultation  Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation,  A single sword to Thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16944]]></link><description><![CDATA[True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating; people who know absolutely everything, and people who know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46048]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating; people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I broke a rib saving her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30360]]></link><description><![CDATA[I broke a rib saving her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone hears only what he understands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone hears only what he understands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way a woman can ever reform her husband is by boring him so completely that he loses all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26404]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way a woman can ever reform her husband is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All places that the eye of heaven visits Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. -King Richard II. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55811]]></link><description><![CDATA[All places that the eye of heaven visits Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. -King Richard II.

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hoarseness caused by swallowing gold and silver. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4901]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hoarseness caused by swallowing gold and silver.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do.

When, unarmed and defenseless, He said to the Roman power, "My Kingdom is not of this world," He spoke the word of inauguration. Over the kingdom of the elemental forces, over the kingdom of the animal, over the kingdom of the intellect, He beheld rising, with Himself as prophet and embodiment, that kingdom of the spiritual whose forces should be those of purity and sacrifice, love and trust, obedience and service. It is the last of the kingdoms because it is the highest; it will be the most enduring for there is nothing that can take its place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes it seems that we are successful only because we have not tried hard enough for our best.
