Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730   I have held many things in my hands, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730   I have held many things in my hands, and have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fool me no fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16325]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fool me no fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get money, money still! And then let virtue follow, if she will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get money, money still! And then let virtue follow, if she will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's wrong with being a boring kind of guy?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4736]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's wrong with being a boring kind of guy?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution. -Anthony J.
