We sadly undervalue prayer when we conceive it in these terms, just as we should underestimate rain by describing it as something that fills the birdbath in our garden. Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality -- the ultimate integration of man's highest faculties. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The weakest link in a chain is the strongest because it can break it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57967]]></link><description><![CDATA[The weakest link in a chain is the strongest because it can break it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Act honestly, and answer boldly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4469]]></link><description><![CDATA[Act honestly, and answer boldly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't be a professor and talk out of a textbook to teach locomotive operations.

The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it.

If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.
