But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless experience be a jewel. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.
