The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shyness is just egotism out of its depth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shyness is just egotism out of its depth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tragey means always a man's struggle with that which is stronger than man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24923]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tragey means always a man's struggle with that which is stronger than man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sunrise wakes the lark to sing, The moonrise wakes the nightingale.  Come, darkness, moonrise, everything   That ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24101]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sunrise wakes the lark to sing, The moonrise wakes the nightingale.  Come, darkness, moonrise, everything   That is so silent, sweet, and pale:    Come, so ye wake the nightingale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48573]]></link><description><![CDATA[But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never, with important air, In conversation overbear.  . . . .   My tongue within my lips ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10090]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never, with important air, In conversation overbear.  . . . .   My tongue within my lips I rein;    For who talks much must talk in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is when reality exceeds expectations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is when reality exceeds expectations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why then we should drop into poetry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46754]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why then we should drop into poetry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no downside to it whatsoever.
