Sing, creatures, sing; the dust that lives by lure and lust Is kindled by the thrust of life undying; This hope our Master bare has made all fortunes fair, And man can on and dare, his death defying. After the winter snows a wind of healing blows, And thorns put forth a rose, and lilies cheer us; Life's everlasting spring has robbed death of his sting, Henceforth a cry can bring our Master near us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During his lifetime, when he was insulted or encountered offensive behavior, he did not respond with rage or violence.

The first three gifts of the Spirit which God had set in the Church were apostles, prophets, and teachers, in addition to which the whole Church had a gift of government (I Cor. 12:4, 28). The decisions of the first council of the Church were first of all decrees of the Spirit (Acts 15:28). Paul had preached and created churches by the power of the Spirit (I Cor. 2:4; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; Gal. 3:2). In one Spirit were all believers baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13: cf. Phil. 1:27). The Spirit therefore dwells in the Church as the principle of its entire united and common life (Eph. 2:18, 22; cf. I Cor. 3:16).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no disaster that can't become a blessing, and no blessing that can't become a disaster ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4308]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no disaster that can't become a blessing, and no blessing that can't become a disaster]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come, And let my liver rather heat with wine  Than my heart ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27422]]></link><description><![CDATA[With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come, And let my liver rather heat with wine  Than my heart cool with mortifying groans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child of our grandmother Eve, a female; or, for thy more sweet understanding, a woman. -Love's Labour 's Lost. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55475]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child of our grandmother Eve, a female; or, for thy more sweet understanding, a woman. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
