And Rome in ruin while Nero laughs and sings:  Ye actors of a drama, cruel and cold,  Your names are by-words in Love's temple now,  Your pomp and glory but a winding-sheet;  Then Christ came scorning regal power and gold  To wear warm blood-drops on a willing brow,  And we, in love, forever kiss His feet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear is excitement without breath. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22069]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is excitement without breath.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American business has just forgotten the importance of selling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20646]]></link><description><![CDATA[American business has just forgotten the importance of selling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/320]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The positive testimony of history is that the State invariably had its origin in conquest and confiscation.
