It is no mere subjective instinct, ... no blind outreach. If it met no response, no answer, it would soon be weeded out of the race. Prayer has stood the test of experience. In fact, the very desire to pray is in itself prophetic of a heavenly Friend. So this native need of the soul rose out of the divine origin of the soul, and it has steadily verified itself as a safe guide to reality. In the first instance it is not asking for anything, it is not petition; all it seeks is God Himself: Let me find Thee, let me know Thee, then I will ask of Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people like me, they tell me it is in spite of my colour.

Prosperity has power to intoxicate the imagination, to fix the mind upon the present scene, to produce confidence and elation, and to make him who enjoys affluence and honors forget the hand by which they were bestowed. It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be innumerable township roads that we can't make an assessment on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29946]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be innumerable township roads that we can't make an assessment on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember, the players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare, that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55323]]></link><description><![CDATA[I remember, the players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare, that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) he never plotted out a line.
