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[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39185]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in books or embodied in customs, institutions and monuments]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I recommend that the Statue of Liberty be supplemented by a Statue ofResponsibility on the west coast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22674]]></link><description><![CDATA[I recommend that the Statue of Liberty be supplemented by a Statue ofResponsibility on the west coast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ninety percent of the things we tend to worry about we have no control over, so why worry about them? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ninety percent of the things we tend to worry about we have no control over, so why worry about them?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the Music breathing from her face,  The heart whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3840]]></link><description><![CDATA[The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the Music breathing from her face,  The heart whose softness harmonized the whole,   And, oh! the eye was in itself a Soul!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Applause is a receipt, not a bill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2912]]></link><description><![CDATA[Applause is a receipt, not a bill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life isn't all beer and skittles; but beer and skittles or something better of the same sort, must form a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life isn't all beer and skittles; but beer and skittles or something better of the same sort, must form a good part of every Englishman's education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60618]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ill wind that bloweth no man good-- The blower of which blast is she. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61647]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ill wind that bloweth no man good-- The blower of which blast is she.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My system uses no apparatus.

It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Luke the Evangelist  Study universal holiness of life.
