Ye blessed souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race, And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour's face,  God's praises sound,  As in his sight,  With sweet delight,  Ye do abound.  Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King. And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing;  Take what he gives  And praise him still,  Through good or ill,  Who ever lives!  My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love!  Let all thy days  Till life shall end,  Whate'er he send,  Be filled with praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, misery makes sport to mock itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42772]]></link><description><![CDATA[No, misery makes sport to mock itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He needs a million dollars to be able to be noticed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31854]]></link><description><![CDATA[He needs a million dollars to be able to be noticed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54099]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to love your children unselfishly.

If therefore we depart without profit, our zeal in frequenting the church will prove our condemnation. That so great a judgment comes not upon you, when ye go hence ponder the things ye have heard, and exercise yourselves in confirming our instruction -- friend with friend, fathers with their children, masters with their slaves -- so that, when ye return hither and hear from us the same counsels, ye may not be ashamed, but rejoice and be glad in the conviction that ye have put into practice the greater part of our exhortation. Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell tales out of school. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell tales out of school.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three or four teams have backed out already, so it's going to be a small meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three or four teams have backed out already, so it's going to be a small meet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By shallow rivers, to whose falls Melodies birds sing madrigals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54327]]></link><description><![CDATA[By shallow rivers, to whose falls Melodies birds sing madrigals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, now again, thy woes impart, Tell all thy sorrows, all thy sin;  We cannot heal the throbbing heart ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, now again, thy woes impart, Tell all thy sorrows, all thy sin;  We cannot heal the throbbing heart   Will we discern the wounds within.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I don't say that we didn't expect it, but we were pleasantly surprised to see the generosity of their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35739]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I don't say that we didn't expect it, but we were pleasantly surprised to see the generosity of their foreign policy; and the generosity of their foreign policy at that moment was expressed through the Marshall Plan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That woman is a blessing from God.
