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[There's not a ship that sails the ocean, But every climate, every soil,  Must bring its tribute, great or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56180]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's not a ship that sails the ocean, But every climate, every soil,  Must bring its tribute, great or small,   And help to build the wooden wall!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They pay me to practice.

He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truest SUCCESS is but the development of self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truest SUCCESS is but the development of self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh my, it's very beautiful over there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh my, it's very beautiful over there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that when you work on yourself, you are attracted by different, more positive beings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36769]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that when you work on yourself, you are attracted by different, more positive beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23672]]></link><description><![CDATA[A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14806]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who wants to get rich wants to get rich quickly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50451]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who wants to get rich wants to get rich quickly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw them go; one horse was blind, The tails of both hung down behind,  Their shoes were on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19847]]></link><description><![CDATA[I saw them go; one horse was blind, The tails of both hung down behind,  Their shoes were on their feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11080]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would be as tedious as to work;  And nothing pleaseth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19575]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would be as tedious as to work;  And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just wrestle under the name of 'wrestling' or pick some other creative name.
