So, o'er the hills of life, stormy, forlorn, Out of the cloud and strife sunrise is born; Swift grows the light for us, Ended is night for us,  Soundless and bright for us breaketh God's morn. Hear we no beat of drums, fanfare, nor cry, When Christ the herald comes quietly nigh; Splendor He makes on earth; Color awakes on earth;  Suddenly breaks on earth light from the sky. Bid then farewell to sleep: rise up and run! What though the hill be steep? Strength's in the sun. Now you shall find at last Night's left behind at last,  And for mankind at last, Day has begun!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocrity would always win by force of numbers, but it would win only more mediocrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocrity would always win by force of numbers, but it would win only more mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Quaker loves an ample brim, A hat that bows to no Salaam;  And dear the beaver is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18888]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Quaker loves an ample brim, A hat that bows to no Salaam;  And dear the beaver is to him   As if it never made a dam.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Daily with souls that cringe and plot, We Sinais climb and know it not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Daily with souls that cringe and plot, We Sinais climb and know it not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ultimately, you have to learn how to live within the confines of a courtroom and not a boardroom.

The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is salutary to train oneself to be no more affected by censure than by praise. - The Summing Up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27813]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is salutary to train oneself to be no more affected by censure than by praise. - The Summing Up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59050]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look not mournfully into the Past; it comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present; it is thine. Go forth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look not mournfully into the Past; it comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present; it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future without fear and with a manly heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27476]]></link><description><![CDATA[The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cunning . . . is but the low mimic of wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10839]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cunning . . . is but the low mimic of wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Right now], if I want an encrypted e-mail service, I'll go to an encrypted e-mail company.
