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[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22907]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis not a life, 'Tis but a piece of childhood thrown away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5888]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis not a life, 'Tis but a piece of childhood thrown away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberty, not communism, is the most contagious force in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberty, not communism, is the most contagious force in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And where the offense is, let the great axe fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54097]]></link><description><![CDATA[And where the offense is, let the great axe fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28147]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic is the anatomy of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic is the anatomy of thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life.
