The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commenting on LaVell Edwards' contribution to college football: He may not be at the head of the class, but whatever ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commenting on LaVell Edwards' contribution to college football: He may not be at the head of the class, but whatever class he is in it doesn't take long to call the roll.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ireland's ruins are historic emotions surrendered to time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ireland's ruins are historic emotions surrendered to time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty state's decrees,  And shape the whisper of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57853]]></link><description><![CDATA[And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty state's decrees,  And shape the whisper of the throne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerves give to wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerves give to wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a bad dater - I'm just not good at it.
