Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spotlight will always be on me, but it's something I'm learning to live with as the years go by. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13661]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spotlight will always be on me, but it's something I'm learning to live with as the years go by.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, 1897  Most of our conflicts and difficulties come from trying to deal with the spiritual and practical aspects of our life separately instead of realizing them as parts of one whole. If our practical life is centered on our own interests, cluttered up by possessions, distracted by ambitions, passions, wants and worries, beset by a sense of our own rights and importance, or anxieties for our own future, or longings for our own success, we need not expect that our spiritual life will be a contrast to all this. The soul's house is not built on such a convenient plan; there are few soundproof partitions in it. Only when the conviction -- not merely the idea -- that the demand of the Spirit, however inconvenient, rules the whole of it, will those objectionable noises die down which have a way of penetrating into the nicely furnished little oratory and drowning all the quieter voices by their din.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66231]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would have had a free college education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. -Ferdinand Foch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22804]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. -Ferdinand Foch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything you need is around you; the danger lies within you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything you need is around you; the danger lies within you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But ere we could arrive the point proposed, Caesar cried, 'Help me, Cassius, or I sink!' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19170]]></link><description><![CDATA[But ere we could arrive the point proposed, Caesar cried, 'Help me, Cassius, or I sink!']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1653]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One (practitioner of science) is the educated man who still has a controlled sense of wonder before the universal mystery, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43557]]></link><description><![CDATA[One (practitioner of science) is the educated man who still has a controlled sense of wonder before the universal mystery, whether it hides in a snail's eye or within the light that impinges on that delicate organ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16489]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel.
