It is no mere subjective instinct, ... no blind outreach. If it met no response, no answer, it would soon be weeded out of the race. Prayer has stood the test of experience. In fact, the very desire to pray is in itself prophetic of a heavenly Friend. So this native need of the soul rose out of the divine origin of the soul, and it has steadily verified itself as a safe guide to reality. In the first instance it is not asking for anything, it is not petition; all it seeks is God Himself: Let me find Thee, let me know Thee, then I will ask of Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happy combination of fortuitous circumstances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8721]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happy combination of fortuitous circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ever properly calculates from time to time what it is his duty to avoid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50302]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ever properly calculates from time to time what it is his duty to avoid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever controls the media--the images--controls the culture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27612]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever controls the media--the images--controls the culture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Read and read again, and do not despair of help to understand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Read and read again, and do not despair of help to understand the will and mind of God though you think they are fast locked up from you. Neither trouble your heads though you have not commentaries and exposition. Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men. Also, what is from men is uncertain, and is often lost and tumbled over by men; but what is from God is fixed as a nail in a sure place. There is nothing that so abides with us as what we receive from God; and the reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from men's mouths, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things. Things we receive at God's hands come to us as truths from the minting house, though old in themselves, yet new to us. Old truths are always new to us if they come with the smell of Heaven upon them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a writer and always was; being a writer is an integral part of my identity.
