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. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. 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[The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26324]]></link><description><![CDATA[The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I am unaware of love, I live drably.

If he had been asked what especially he conceived his own duty to be, he would have said that it was to force men to realize once more that the world was actually governed by a just God; that the old familiar story, acknowledged everywhere in words on Sundays and disregarded or openly denied on week-days, was, after all, true. His writings, every one of them, ... were to this same purpose and on this same text -- that truth must be spoken and justice must be done; on any other conditions, no real commonwealth, no common welfare, is permitted or possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strew on her roses, roses, / And never a spray of yew. / In quiet she reposes: / Ah! would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strew on her roses, roses, / And never a spray of yew. / In quiet she reposes: / Ah! would that I did too!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day,  And woman's plighted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day,  And woman's plighted faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know how they say you only hurt the ones you love?

The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We Germans fear God, but nothing else in the world. [Ger., Wir Deutschen furchten Gott, sonst aber Nichts in der ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17391]]></link><description><![CDATA[We Germans fear God, but nothing else in the world. [Ger., Wir Deutschen furchten Gott, sonst aber Nichts in der Welt.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The face of the enemy frightens me only when I see how much it resembles me ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13807]]></link><description><![CDATA[The face of the enemy frightens me only when I see how much it resembles me]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between an optimist and a pessimist?
