Go, then, to prayer, not that ye may enjoy spiritual delights, but that ye may be full or empty, just as it pleaseth God. This will preserve you in an evenness of spirit, either in desertion or in consolation, and will prevent your being surprised at dryness, or the apparent repulses of Him who is altogether Love. Constant prayer is to keep the heart always right towards God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8964]]></link><description><![CDATA[God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your every human plan and calculation has miscarried, if, one by one, human props have been knocked out, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7982]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your every human plan and calculation has miscarried, if, one by one, human props have been knocked out, and doors have shut in your face, take heart.
