Go, then, to prayer, not that ye may enjoy spiritual delights, but that ye may be full or empty, just as it pleaseth God. This will preserve you in an evenness of spirit, either in desertion or in consolation, and will prevent your being surprised at dryness, or the apparent repulses of Him who is altogether Love. Constant prayer is to keep the heart always right towards God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The next way home's the farthest way about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51051]]></link><description><![CDATA[The next way home's the farthest way about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise man to be able to sell it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise man to be able to sell it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough of literature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough of literature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To see them here is a dream come true.
