We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we could know which of us, darling, would be the first to go, who would be first to breast ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4157]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we could know which of us, darling, would be the first to go, who would be first to breast the swelling tide and step alone upon the other side -- if we could know!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13764]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fit thy consent to my sharp appetite, Lay by all nicety and prolixious blushes,  That banish what they sue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fit thy consent to my sharp appetite, Lay by all nicety and prolixious blushes,  That banish what they sue for: redeem thy brother   By yielding up thy body to my will,    Or else he must not only die the death,     But thy unkindess shall his death draw out      To ling'ring sufferance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Manufacturing activity in the region appears to have cooled off.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity.
