Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea,  The ploughman homeward ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14252]]></link><description><![CDATA[The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea,  The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,   And leaves the world to darkness and to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The killers are still inside the National Penitentiary, and we have to be prepared for new incidents. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29677]]></link><description><![CDATA[The killers are still inside the National Penitentiary, and we have to be prepared for new incidents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of middle-class black people think that the Democrats have nothing new to say about race, that their ideas ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41807]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of middle-class black people think that the Democrats have nothing new to say about race, that their ideas are bankrupt, and that the party basically takes their loyalty for granted, ...

When summarized in a few neat words or phrases, these gems of wisdom become substitutes for thought, and gradually take on much of the status of revealed truth. Occasionally, some iconoclast sees fit to challenge one of them, and a brief flurry ensues, after which things go on about as before.
