The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ultimate camping trip was the Lewis and Clark expedition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5195]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ultimate camping trip was the Lewis and Clark expedition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've had enough success for two lifetimes, my success is talent put together with hard work and luck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39416]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've had enough success for two lifetimes, my success is talent put together with hard work and luck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1438]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadays: he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadays: he won't be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who's always telling you that, of course, he's nobody. Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only a kind person is able to judge another justly and to make allowances for his weaknesses.

The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance.
