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/7523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The city of Atlanta has always had a good spirit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36794]]></link><description><![CDATA[The city of Atlanta has always had a good spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42386]]></link><description><![CDATA[The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cruelty is fed, not weakened, by tears ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cruelty is fed, not weakened, by tears]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds attempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds attempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meek Nature's evening comment on the shows That for oblivion that their daily birth  From all the fuming vanities ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meek Nature's evening comment on the shows That for oblivion that their daily birth  From all the fuming vanities of earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5959]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame - anyone who says he doesn't like it is crazy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fame - anyone who says he doesn't like it is crazy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I weigh the man, not his title; 'tis not the king's stamp can make the metal better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52957]]></link><description><![CDATA[I weigh the man, not his title; 'tis not the king's stamp can make the metal better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true way to be humble is not to stoop till thou art smaller than thyself, but to stand at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8104]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true way to be humble is not to stoop till thou art smaller than thyself, but to stand at thy real height against some higher nature that will show thee what the real smallness of thy greatness is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19731]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One who sets off to the best advantage his every act and speech. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51667]]></link><description><![CDATA[One who sets off to the best advantage his every act and speech.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cow is nothing but a machine which makes grass fit for us people to eat ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cow is nothing but a machine which makes grass fit for us people to eat]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your greatest asset is your earning ability.

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always safety in valor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60321]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always safety in valor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they kept only one; they promised to take our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43740]]></link><description><![CDATA[They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they kept only one; they promised to take our land, and they did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would prefer a total stock market fund if it's going to be their only investment, but if it's the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35355]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would prefer a total stock market fund if it's going to be their only investment, but if it's the first of many funds I'd go with the S&P 500 Index Fund.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603   Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
