Now know I well how that fond phantasy  Which made my soul the worshipper and thrall  Of earthly art, is vain; how criminal Is that which all men seek unwillingly. Those amorous thoughts which were so lightly dressed,  What are they when the double death is nigh?  The one I know for sure, the other dread. Painting nor sculpture now can lull to rest  My soul that turns to His great love on high,  Whose arms to clasp us on the cross were spread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23618]]></link><description><![CDATA[Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, and the valor of the brave]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If my soldiers were to begin to think, not one would remain in the ranks ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57120]]></link><description><![CDATA[If my soldiers were to begin to think, not one would remain in the ranks]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lie that is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51686]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lie that is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wish on everything.

He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe you are your work.
