We must ask that we may receive; but that we should receive what we ask in respect of our lower needs, is not God's end in making us pray, for He could give us everything without that: to bring His child to His knee, God withholds that man may ask.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In great attempts it is glorious even to fail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22462]]></link><description><![CDATA[In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of herbs, and other country messes, Which the neat-handed Phillis dresses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of herbs, and other country messes, Which the neat-handed Phillis dresses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of vast circumference and gloom profound, This solitary Tree!
