Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here.

Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56813]]></link><description><![CDATA[...each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who do not read criticism will rarely merit to be criticised. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who do not read criticism will rarely merit to be criticised.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless we know the difference between flowers and weeds, we are not fit to take care of a garden.
