Give me the love that leads the way, The faith that nothing can dismay, The hope no disappointments tire, The passion that will burn like fire; Let me not sink to be a clod: Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bear one another's burdens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1392]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bear one another's burdens.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light.

If that is where it rests, it is an optimism which will suffer ultimate disillusionment. Romanticism will be transmuted into cynicism, as it has always been in the world's history. The faith of a Christian is something quite different from this optimism. It is trust in God, in a good God who created a good world, though the world is not now good; in a good God, powerful and good enough finally to destroy the evil that men do and redeem them of their sins. This kind of faith is not optimism. It does not, in fact, arise until optimism breaks down and men cease to trust in themselves that they are righteous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Texas functions best when public officials recognize that government does not belong to them but to the people, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Texas functions best when public officials recognize that government does not belong to them but to the people,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to understand, for a torture victim, this is an independent confirmation, ...
