Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54185]]></link><description><![CDATA[The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always a way to go if you look for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22571]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always a way to go if you look for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Police were told the group was armed and they had made political demands, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Police were told the group was armed and they had made political demands,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let others tell of storms and showers, I'll only mark your sunny hours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let others tell of storms and showers, I'll only mark your sunny hours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exasperation is the mind's way of spinning its wheels until patience restores traction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exasperation is the mind's way of spinning its wheels until patience restores traction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't buy a single vote more than necessary.

There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true. Those make the best progress in religion who hold fast by the faith once for all delivered to the saints, and not those who drift away from their moorings, rudderless upon a sea of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two tragedies in life.

If these are gifted with heroic qualities, to vanquish the oppressors of Israel, it is nevertheless not this heroism that forms their principal characteristic. That consists in judging. They restore... the authority of the law. For this reason, God raises up judges, not princes. The title sets forth both their work and the occasion of their appointment.
