Light thickens, and the crow     Makes wing to th' rooky wood.      Good things of day begin to droop and drowse,       While night's black agents to their prey do rouse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690  The preacher and the writer may seem to have an... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690  The preacher and the writer may seem to have an... easy task. At first sight, it may seem that they have only to proclaim and declare; but in fact, if their words are to enter men's hearts and bear fruit, they must be the right words, shaped cunningly to pass men's defenses and explode silently and effectually within their minds. This means, in practice, turning a face of flint toward the easy cliche, the well-worn religious cant and phraseology -- dear, no doubt, to the faithful, but utterly meaningless to those outside the fold. It means learning how people are thinking and how they are feeling; it means learning with patience, imagination and ingenuity the way to pierce apathy or blank lack of understanding. I sometimes wonder what hours of prayer and thought lie behind the apparently simple and spontaneous parables of the Gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The old mayor climbed the belfry tower, The ringers ran by two, by three;  "Pull, if ye never pulled ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The old mayor climbed the belfry tower, The ringers ran by two, by three;  "Pull, if ye never pulled before;   Good ringers, pull your best," quoth he.    "Play uppe, play uppe, O Boston bells!     Ply all your changes, all your swells,      Play uppe The Brides of Enderby."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19999]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the action was over and they were returning with joy, they recognized Nicanor, lying dead, in full armor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57135]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the action was over and they were returning with joy, they recognized Nicanor, lying dead, in full armor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10298]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ladies at the food stamp office started calling around.

He is your ally. He is our ally, be he at the other end of the world. Love all living things whose humble task is not opposed in any way to yours, to ours: men with simple hearts, honest, without vanity and malice, and all the animals, because they are beautiful, without exception and without exception indifferent to whatever "idea" there may be. Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion.

Any attempts to hide behind the excuse that it is too difficult, when what we mean is that its word is too hard for us to bear, meets the just remark of a pastor from Communist Germany: "How can they say that the Bible is difficult, when young Communists are poring over much more difficult and much more technical literature to discover what Communism is all about?" Sometimes the Biblical teaching is crystal-clear, but we dare not understand it. The Christian Church has a vested interest in its present forms, and Christian people, like others, have their pleasant prejudices. This unwillingness to hear some new thing, except in times of great disturbance, plays a bigger part in weakening the voice of God through the Bible than we are prepared to admit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To-morrow never yet On any human being rose or set. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59458]]></link><description><![CDATA[To-morrow never yet On any human being rose or set.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was sixteen I was pretending to be Charlie Musselwhite.
