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[ÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â feel very proud because we worked so hard to create it - and proud for France because everything is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30096]]></link><description><![CDATA[ÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â feel very proud because we worked so hard to create it - and proud for France because everything is made here,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was learning the importance of names -- having them, making them -- but at the same time I sensed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43672]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was learning the importance of names -- having them, making them -- but at the same time I sensed the dangers.

A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world. Scorn the "intellectual" as much as the world esteems it. What men consider intellectual is a certain facility to produce brilliant thoughts. Nothing is more vain. We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, painting is a way to forget life.
