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[Thus meditating you will no longer strive to build yourself up in your prejudices, but, forgetting self, you will remember ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus meditating you will no longer strive to build yourself up in your prejudices, but, forgetting self, you will remember only that you are seeking the Truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think he would tell you he wasn't very happy with the way he played overall last year.

And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cowardice ... is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cowardice ... is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wanted to cover our bases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31598]]></link><description><![CDATA[We wanted to cover our bases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I gave Emmitt a hug after his last game [with Dallas] and told him I was proud to have played ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40546]]></link><description><![CDATA[I gave Emmitt a hug after his last game [with Dallas] and told him I was proud to have played against him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when the sun in all his state, Illumed the eastern skies,  She passed through glory's morning gate,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11162]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when the sun in all his state, Illumed the eastern skies,  She passed through glory's morning gate,   And walked in Paradise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius without education is like silver in the mine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius without education is like silver in the mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knock unbidden once at every gate-- If sleeping, wake--if feasting, rise before  I turn away--it is the hour ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45077]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knock unbidden once at every gate-- If sleeping, wake--if feasting, rise before  I turn away--it is the hour of fate,   And they who follow me reach every state    Mortals desire, and conquer every foe     Save death, but those who doubt of hesitate,      Condemned to failure, penury and woe,       Seek me in vain and uselessly implore,        I answer not, and I return no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tough luck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42491]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tough luck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the first year for this.
