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[Set your target and keep trying until you reach it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Set your target and keep trying until you reach it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People have learned the tricks, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34607]]></link><description><![CDATA[People have learned the tricks,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15072]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a poet has any obligation toward society, it is to write well.

Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When an individual fear or apathy passes by the unfortunate, life is of no account. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2027]]></link><description><![CDATA[When an individual fear or apathy passes by the unfortunate, life is of no account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuation of this stance and observing (these issues) as a red line is the only way for success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuation of this stance and observing (these issues) as a red line is the only way for success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What work's, my countrymen, in hand?
