When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering.

The Father, unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his request, hit upon this expedient to rid himself of his importunities. He expressed his willingness to accept the Lion as the suitor of his daughter on one condition: that he should allow him to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws, as his daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn while you're young', he often said, 'there is much to enjoy, down here below, life for the living, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn while you're young', he often said, 'there is much to enjoy, down here below, life for the living, and rest for the dead!']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we're a decent basketball team.
