Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The daffodil is our doorside queen; She pushes upward the sword already,  To spot with sunshine the early green. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10968]]></link><description><![CDATA[The daffodil is our doorside queen; She pushes upward the sword already,  To spot with sunshine the early green.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10220]]></link><description><![CDATA['My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case.
