Communion with God is the one need of the soul beyond all other need: prayer is the beginning of that communion, and some need is the motive of that prayer... So begins a communion, a talking with God, a coming-to-one with Him, which is the sole end of prayer, yea, of existence itself in its infinite phases. We must ask that we may receive; but that we should receive what we ask in respect of our lower needs, is not God's end in making us pray, for He could give us everything without that: to bring His child to His knee, God withholds that man may ask.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the president decides something on Monday, he still believes it on Wednesday - no matter what happened Tuesday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17389]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the president decides something on Monday, he still believes it on Wednesday - no matter what happened Tuesday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didn't, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didn't, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This monument is family.

The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kindness, so far as we can return it, is agreeable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51665]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kindness, so far as we can return it, is agreeable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make it simple.
