Communion with God is the one need of the soul beyond all other need: prayer is the beginning of that communion, and some need is the motive of that prayer... So begins a communion, a talking with God, a coming-to-one with Him, which is the sole end of prayer, yea, of existence itself in its infinite phases. 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[On such an occasion as this, All time and nonsense scorning,  Nothing shall come amiss,   And we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15586]]></link><description><![CDATA[On such an occasion as this, All time and nonsense scorning,  Nothing shall come amiss,   And we won't go home till morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What precious drops are those, Which silently each other's track pursue,  Bright as young diamonds in their faint dew? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58796]]></link><description><![CDATA[What precious drops are those, Which silently each other's track pursue,  Bright as young diamonds in their faint dew?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was the human spirit itself that failed at Paris.

It is no use passing judgments and making scapegoats of this or that individual statesman or group of statesmen. Idealists make a great mistake in not facing the real facts sincerely and resolutely. They believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is at the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideals of the race. But this great faith only too often leads to an optimism which is sadly and fatally at variance with actual results. It is the realist and not the idealist who is generally justified by events. We forget that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world, is still only an infant crying in the night, and that the struggle with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle. . . . Paris proved this terrible truth once more. It was not Wilson who failed there, but humanity itself. It was not the statesmen that failed, so much as the spirit of the peoples behind them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He'll reach up and take one of those big old floppy ears and he'll say, 'I can't hear you,' and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42391]]></link><description><![CDATA[He'll reach up and take one of those big old floppy ears and he'll say, 'I can't hear you,' and they'll start that all over again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which I just now gave, I recall, and draw back the string. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50491]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which I just now gave, I recall, and draw back the string.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm happy to announce that our long national vigil involving Angel [de] la Cruz is over.
