Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see things; and you say, 'Why?'

For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? •Jean Cocteau  Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. •Lily Tomlin  The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you. •Nancy Astor  For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself. •Rita Mae Brown  Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. •Mark Twain  The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already. •J.N. Fadenburg   Make a success of living by seeing the goal and aiming for it unswervingly. •Cecil B. Demille  I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. •Abraham Lincoln  The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made. •Groucho Marx  Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25939]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physicians mend or end us; but though in health we sneer; when sick we call them to attend us, without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Physicians mend or end us; but though in health we sneer; when sick we call them to attend us, without the least propensity to jeer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have learnt life's lessons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50520]]></link><description><![CDATA[They have learnt life's lessons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They know who keep a broken tryst, Till something from the Spring be missed  We have not truly known ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57799]]></link><description><![CDATA[They know who keep a broken tryst, Till something from the Spring be missed  We have not truly known the Spring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing but what astonishes is true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing but what astonishes is true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill one another if it is not done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill one another if it is not done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3964</guid></item></channel></rss>
