Blessed hills, that heard the song Of the glorious angel-throng, Swelling all your slopes along. Happy shepherds, on whose ear Fell the tidings glad and dear, "God to man is drawing near." Happy, happy, Bethlehem, Judah's least but brightest gem, Where the rod from Jesse's stem, Scion of a princely race, Sprung in Heaven's own perfect grace, Yet in feeble lowliness. This, the woman's promised seed, Abram's mighty Son indeed; Succourer of earth's great need. This the victor in our war, This the glory see afar, This the light of Jacob's star! Happy Judah, rise and own Him the heir of David's throne David's Lord, and David's Son. Let the dayspring from on high. That arose in Judah's sky. Cover earth eternally. Babe of Bethlehem, to Thee, Infant of eternity, Everlasting glory be!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Must I hold a candle to my shames? -The Merchant of Venice.

The possession of family wealth and of the distinction which attends hereditary possessions (as most concerned in it,) are the natural securities for this transmission.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a comparison is made of the variant readings of the New Testament with those of other books which have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6703]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a comparison is made of the variant readings of the New Testament with those of other books which have survived from antiquity, the results are little short of astounding. For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He knows little, who will tell his wife all he knows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27162]]></link><description><![CDATA[He knows little, who will tell his wife all he knows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always think that, in Britain, we are terribly ignorant about India, as befits an ex-imperialist nation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40776]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always think that, in Britain, we are terribly ignorant about India, as befits an ex-imperialist nation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel more at home and more confident with those guys here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33541]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel more at home and more confident with those guys here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16686]]></link><description><![CDATA[A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The field is quite new, so its ultimate success at finding new drugs is still unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33420]]></link><description><![CDATA[The field is quite new, so its ultimate success at finding new drugs is still unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections, children tend to be sticky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64050]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections, children tend to be sticky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a slow but perceptible fraying of our employment-based system, ... what I call the drip, drip, drip (of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34060]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a slow but perceptible fraying of our employment-based system, ... what I call the drip, drip, drip (of health coverage).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're in convoys, taking the same risks as the male solders and Marines, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37216]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're in convoys, taking the same risks as the male solders and Marines,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not heaven itself upon the past has power; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not heaven itself upon the past has power; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were down, and for some reason, they just tried to shoot our way back in it.

Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose [it]. Mr. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the conversion of St Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks full of prejudice and a contempt for Christianity. The results of their separate endeavours was that they were both converted by their attempts to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they had expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly and congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favour of revelation -- one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St Paul", and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sea--this truth must be confessed-- has no generosity.
