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[No vacation goes unpunished. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59585]]></link><description><![CDATA[No vacation goes unpunished.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three brothers, three fortresses ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three brothers, three fortresses]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All powerful is the rule of fashion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51584]]></link><description><![CDATA[All powerful is the rule of fashion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew it was going to be tough.
