From all that terror teaches,  From lies of tongue and pen; From all the easy speeches  That comfort cruel men; From sale and profanation  Of honor and the sword; From sleep and from damnation,  Deliver us, good Lord! Tie in a living tether  The prince and priest and thrall; Bind all our lives together,  Smite us and save us all; In ire and exultation  Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation,  A single sword to Thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every sweet hath its sour, every evil its good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every sweet hath its sour, every evil its good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business is a lot like a game of tennis — those who serve well usually end up winning ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Business is a lot like a game of tennis — those who serve well usually end up winning]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seemed rather incongruous that in a society of supersophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9059]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seemed rather incongruous that in a society of supersophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think he ever had a real good feel for his mechanics and release point.

It may be by direct intervention, or by a combination of circumstances which He controls.
