Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who can make hard things easy is the educator. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58762]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who can make hard things easy is the educator.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps.
