Imagine a man wearing a mask, and imagine that the elastic which holds the mask on has just broken, so that the man (rather than let the mask slip off) has to tilt his head back and balance the mask on his real face.

When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I would have died if there hadn't been the women's movement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33885]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think I would have died if there hadn't been the women's movement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lady of forty-seven who had been married twenty-seven years and has six children knows what love really is and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25751]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lady of forty-seven who had been married twenty-seven years and has six children knows what love really is and once described it for me like this: 'Love is what you've been through with somebody.'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is patience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19441]]></link><description><![CDATA[People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a sense, the U.S. is no longer leading the scenario. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28439]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a sense, the U.S. is no longer leading the scenario.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was very pleased with the way the team played, especially they way they hustled and dove on defense.

Christians are to be the makers of Christ's peace. Something we can all do is to reconcile individuals, families, classes, churches, nations. The question is, Are we, as churchmen and citizens, by work and by prayer, in our private conduct and our public action, doing our utmost with deliberate, unsparing effort! If so, our benediction is of the highest: it is to be, and to be acknowledged as being, sons of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43223]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hare and the TortoiseA hare one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise, who replied, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1524]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Hare and the TortoiseA hare one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise, who replied, laughing: Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race. The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item></channel></rss>
