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[There is something fascinating about science.

If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27308]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is not always measured in smiles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is not always measured in smiles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Customers will have an easier time paying smaller monthly bills, so we will expect to see fewer cases of customers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Customers will have an easier time paying smaller monthly bills, so we will expect to see fewer cases of customers walking away without paying a final bill because it is just too high.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes.
