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[We cannot really love anyone with with whom we never laugh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24212]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot really love anyone with with whom we never laugh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Questions are never indiscreet: answers sometimes are ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Questions are never indiscreet: answers sometimes are]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy insect! what can be In happiness compared to thee?  Fed with nourishment divine,   The dewy morning's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy insect! what can be In happiness compared to thee?  Fed with nourishment divine,   The dewy morning's gentle wine!    Nature waits upon thee still,     And thy verdant cup does fill;      'Tis fill'd wherever thou dost tread,       Nature's self's thy Ganymede.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54081]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who seems most hideous when adorned the most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who seems most hideous when adorned the most.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Next to the writer of real estate advertisements, the autobiographer is the most suspect of prose artists. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Next to the writer of real estate advertisements, the autobiographer is the most suspect of prose artists.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hereafter, in a better world than this, I shall desire more love and knowledge of you. -As You Like It. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hereafter, in a better world than this, I shall desire more love and knowledge of you. -As You Like It.

Not by making vast claims for himself, though such claims were implicit. His authority seemed to reside in what he was and what he did rather than in what he specifically claimed to be. Especially in Mark's Gospel there is an elusive quality about his authority, the mystery of the hidden Messiah. His authority was at the same time most deeply hidden and most clearly expressed by his servanthood... The more the Church in its life shows forth the character of the Servant, the more will its teaching bear the marks of the authority of the Servant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got a simple rule about everybody.
