But this one little boy had gotten an old enema bag and filled it with rocks, and he would go around and whap the other children across the face with it. Man, I think my heart almost broke.  Later the boy came up and offered to give me the toy. This was too much! I reached out my hand, but then he ran away. I chased him down and took the enema bag. He cried a little, but that's the way of these people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the dark end of the street -- To the bright side of the road -- We'll be lovers once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25974]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the dark end of the street -- To the bright side of the road -- We'll be lovers once again on the -- Bright side of the road]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46309]]></link><description><![CDATA[We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you must play, decide upon three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17174]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you must play, decide upon three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10823]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm happy when I'm juggling, but I feel like I've gone from, like, 3 balls to 10 -- bowling balls. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40177]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm happy when I'm juggling, but I feel like I've gone from, like, 3 balls to 10 -- bowling balls.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. 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.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I liked the look in Carolyn's eyes when she started the second half.
