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[Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Price fixing does not represent simply windfall gains and losses to particular groups according to whether the price happens to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Price fixing does not represent simply windfall gains and losses to particular groups according to whether the price happens to be set higher or lower than it would be otherwise.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are going to try to go to war, or to prepare for war, in a capitalist country, you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61161]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are going to try to go to war, or to prepare for war, in a capitalist country, you have got to let business make money out of the process or business won't work. •Henry Lewis Stimson   War is like love, it always finds a way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're awful glad that the taxpayers and the voters will have an opportunity to vote on this.
