Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace... [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64353]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more.

Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When asked, "If you had been in President Clinton's place would you have resigned?"
