Like flowers uplifted to the sun, like trees that bend before the storm, like sleeping seas that mirror cloudless skies, like a harp to the hand, like an echo to a cry, like a song to the heart;  for all our stubbornness, our failure, and our sin:  so would we have been to Thee, O God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This book gave me back the passionate optimism of my youth.

For to seek for eminence and significancy in grace is but like seeking for eminence and significancy in nature. And the old man can relish glory and distinction in religion as well as in common life, and will be content to undergo as many labours, pains, and self-denials for the sake of religious, as for the sake of secular glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A crier of green sauce. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10141]]></link><description><![CDATA[A crier of green sauce.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61209]]></link><description><![CDATA[War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good he scorned Stalked off reluctant, like an ill-used ghost,  Not to return; or if it did, in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17843]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good he scorned Stalked off reluctant, like an ill-used ghost,  Not to return; or if it did, in visits   Like those of angels, short and far between.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20006]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're clearly sending a message to employees that they will be rewarded for high performance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39800]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're clearly sending a message to employees that they will be rewarded for high performance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6112]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We kind of got called out in our defensive-line meeting, ...
