Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temperate temperance is best; intemperate temperance injures the cause of temperance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temperate temperance is best; intemperate temperance injures the cause of temperance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ten years from now I plan to be sitting here, looking out over my land.
