Ye blessed souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race, And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour's face,  God's praises sound,  As in his sight,  With sweet delight,  Ye do abound.  Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King. And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing;  Take what he gives  And praise him still,  Through good or ill,  Who ever lives!  My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love!  Let all thy days  Till life shall end,  Whate'er he send,  Be filled with praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That it shall hold companionship in peace With honour, as in war. -Coriolanus.

Not fiends incarnate, but plain flesh and blood like us; quite ordinary men, decent and kindly souls enough, some of whom, no doubt, went to their homes that day from Calvary and took their children on their knees and loved them very genuinely. Only, they were a bit old fashioned in the make-up of their minds, had grown stiff and inelastic in their thinking, inhospitable to new notions -- surely a very minor sin at worst -- and some feared for their vested interests; and one, poor Pilate, had lost his temper with these impossible Jews in days gone by, and had received a curt warning from Rome that there must be no further bloodshed in Jerusalem, and here was a new trouble at the very worst of times in the whole year, with fanatics in tens of thousands come up for the Feast; and one wanted to save the world by quick-running machinery, and so put Christ into a situation where He could no longer dilly-dally but must do something vivid, dramatic, revolutionary. And the people? No need for us to bother being there at the decision between Jesus and Barabbas. We had the lined streets cheering for Him yesterday. And we have relatives to see, and messages from neighbours to deliver to their kindred. He will be all right; we needn't worry to be there. Such simple and plebian sins -- minds grown a trifle out of date, a little selfishness, some temper and its consequences, a bit of worldly wisdom, and an indifference that did nothing at all -- these brought about the shame of mankind, and the tragedy of history, and the blot upon our annals that will not rub out. And they are all of them within your heart and mine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest critics of my books are people who never read them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4677]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest critics of my books are people who never read them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you judge people you have no time to love them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25653]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you judge people you have no time to love them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feeling is deep and still; and the word that floats on the surface Is as the tossing buoy, that betrays ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feeling is deep and still; and the word that floats on the surface Is as the tossing buoy, that betrays where the anchor is hidden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was; and no matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48140]]></link><description><![CDATA[The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was; and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tradition is a guide and not a jailer ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tradition is a guide and not a jailer]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pray you all, If you have hitherto concealed this sight,  Let it be tenable in your silence still. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54990]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pray you all, If you have hitherto concealed this sight,  Let it be tenable in your silence still.   And whatsoever else shall hap to-night,    Give it an understanding but no tongue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know how to live the time that is given you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know how to live the time that is given you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talent, like beauty, to be pardoned, must be obscure and unostentatious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talent, like beauty, to be pardoned, must be obscure and unostentatious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acon his right, Leonilla her left eye Doth want; yet each in form, the gods out-vie.  Sweet boy, with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acon his right, Leonilla her left eye Doth want; yet each in form, the gods out-vie.  Sweet boy, with thine, thy sister's sight improved:   So shall she Venus be, thou God of Love.    [Lat., Lumine Acon dextre,--capta est Leonilla sinistre,     Et potis est forma vincere uterque dees:      Blande puer, lumen quod habes concede sorori,       Sic tu caecus Amor, sic erit illa Venus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Extremes meet and there is no better example than the haughtiness of humility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Extremes meet and there is no better example than the haughtiness of humility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dynamics of Goal Setting, Success Motivation Institute. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dynamics of Goal Setting, Success Motivation Institute.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They talk of the dignity of work.
