Races and peoples, lo, we stand divided,  And, sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;  By wars and tumults love is mocked, derided  His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear. Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded, Nation by nation still goes unforgiven, In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,  Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven. Lust of possession worketh desolations;  There is no meekness in the sons of earth;  Led by no star, the rulers of the nations  Still fail to bring us to the blissful birth: How shall we love Thee, holy hidden Being,  If we love not the world which Thou hast made?  O give us brother-love for better seeing  Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ethical person ought to do more than he's required to do and less than he's allowed to do ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43090]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ethical person ought to do more than he's required to do and less than he's allowed to do]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every once in a while someone without a single bad habit gets caught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every once in a while someone without a single bad habit gets caught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is something more philosophical and more worthy of serious attention than history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is something more philosophical and more worthy of serious attention than history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil is whatever distracts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil is whatever distracts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half of the American people have never read a newspaper.

The best and safest way to deal with these truths is to raise our eyes to God and in deepest reverence say, "0 Lord, Thou knowest." Those things belong to the deep and mysterious Profound of God's omniscience. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish to drown, do not torture yourself with shallow water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11329]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wish to drown, do not torture yourself with shallow water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Engineers like to solve problems.
