O Lord let me not sink into total depravity, look down upon me, and rescue me at last from the captivity of sin. Impart to me good resolutions, and give me strength and perseverance to perform them. Take not from me Thy Holy Spirit, but grant that I may redeem the time lost, and that by temperance and diligence, by sincere repentance and faithful obedience I may finally attain everlasting happiness, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[, The Hidden Power of the Heart Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating.

He took theAss home and put him in the straw-yard with his other Asses, uponwhich the new animal left all the others and at once joined theone that was most idle and the greatest eater of them all. Seeing this, the man put a halter on him and led him back to hisowner. On being asked how, in so short a time, he could havemade a trial of him, he answered, I do not need a trial; I knowthat he will be just the same as the one he chose for hiscompanion. A man is known by the company he keeps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66722]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don\'t back down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night; For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night  Whiter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52595]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night; For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night  Whiter than new snow upon a raven's back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some guys don't think Justin lifts hard, then we test and he's extremely strong for his weight.

One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet sleep be with us, one and all! And if upon its stillness fall  The visions of a busy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet sleep be with us, one and all! And if upon its stillness fall  The visions of a busy brain,   We'll have our pleasure o'er again,    To warm the heart, to charm the sight,     Gay dreams to all! good night, good night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Michelle wanted was to see for herself if she could do it or not.
