Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One out of suits with fortune. -As You Like It.

"That must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with earthquake. When he comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity which He occupies into some inhuman shape." Instead of that, this new life into which God comes, seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together, that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His Divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19038]]></link><description><![CDATA[My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How goes it now, sir?

Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[... not picked from the leaves of any author, but bred amongst the weeds and tares of mine own brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10564]]></link><description><![CDATA[... not picked from the leaves of any author, but bred amongst the weeds and tares of mine own brain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me thy company and I will tell thee what thou art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me thy company and I will tell thee what thou art.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why will no man confess his faults?
