Go, then, to prayer, not that ye may enjoy spiritual delights, but that ye may be full or empty, just as it pleaseth God. This will preserve you in an evenness of spirit, either in desertion or in consolation, and will prevent your being surprised at dryness, or the apparent repulses of Him who is altogether Love. Constant prayer is to keep the heart always right towards God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, we started about 24 years ago demonstrating corn-husk weaving at the Boone County Conservatory and, well, one thing leads ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, we started about 24 years ago demonstrating corn-husk weaving at the Boone County Conservatory and, well, one thing leads to another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have become the tools of their tools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men have become the tools of their tools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To each man at his birth nature has given some fault. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50953]]></link><description><![CDATA[To each man at his birth nature has given some fault.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heresy is another word for freedom of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heresy is another word for freedom of thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17247]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I stand on the sidewalk watching it because the responsibility is mine and I must, I take a very firm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35933]]></link><description><![CDATA[I stand on the sidewalk watching it because the responsibility is mine and I must, I take a very firm hold on the handles of the baby carriage and I wheel it into the traffic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A health to the nut-brown lass, With the hazel eyes: let it pass.  . . . .   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59417]]></link><description><![CDATA[A health to the nut-brown lass, With the hazel eyes: let it pass.  . . . .   As much to the lively grey    'Tis as good i' th' night as day:     . . . .      She's a savour to the glass,       And excuse to make it pass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable. [Lat., Calamitosus est animus futuri anxius.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable. [Lat., Calamitosus est animus futuri anxius.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sense of humor... is needed armor.

The hungry sheep, that crave the living Bread. Grow few, and lean, and feeble as can be, When fed not Gospel, but philosophy; Not Love's eternal story, no, not this, But apt allusion, keen analysis. Discourse well framed -- forgot as soon as heard -- Man's thin dilution of the living Word. O Preacher, leave the rhetorician's arts; Preach Christ, the Food of hungry human hearts; Hold fast to science, history, or creed, But preach the Answer to our human need, That in this place, at least, it may be said No hungry sheep looks up and is not fed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is this the sound and rumor?
