It is no mere subjective instinct, ... no blind outreach. If it met no response, no answer, it would soon be weeded out of the race. Prayer has stood the test of experience. In fact, the very desire to pray is in itself prophetic of a heavenly Friend. So this native need of the soul rose out of the divine origin of the soul, and it has steadily verified itself as a safe guide to reality. In the first instance it is not asking for anything, it is not petition; all it seeks is God Himself: Let me find Thee, let me know Thee, then I will ask of Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crave not perfection from others & you will get the best behaviour they can offer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crave not perfection from others & you will get the best behaviour they can offer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought it was an earthquake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36375]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thought it was an earthquake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The question is not so much whether there is life on Mars as whether it will continue to be possible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60180]]></link><description><![CDATA[The question is not so much whether there is life on Mars as whether it will continue to be possible to live on Earth]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If someone offers you a breath mint, accept it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/946]]></link><description><![CDATA[If someone offers you a breath mint, accept it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8361]]></link><description><![CDATA[The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64681]]></link><description><![CDATA[One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are here on earth to do good to others.

If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zeal is fit only for the wise but is found mostly in fools ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62610]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zeal is fit only for the wise but is found mostly in fools]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very nearly impossible... to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13435]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is very nearly impossible... to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We like playing on the road when everyone is against you.
