It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself Till by broad spreading it disperse ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself Till by broad spreading it disperse to naught]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60215]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You couldn't get mad.

Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like: His mighty steed was fast as the wind, on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three, any loose talk about a beloved having a face that could launch a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed own a very large seaport.
