And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons for the ease of my own intercessory prayers. One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him. And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin (short list of candidates for this post will be forwarded on demand). Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray against my own besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This isn't right, this isn't even wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54874]]></link><description><![CDATA[This isn't right, this isn't even wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crime, like disease, is not interesting; it is something to be done away with by general consent, and that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crime, like disease, is not interesting; it is something to be done away with by general consent, and that is all about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Periods of wholesome laziness, after days of energetic effort, will wonderfully tone up the mind and body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Periods of wholesome laziness, after days of energetic effort, will wonderfully tone up the mind and body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truly fearless think of themselves as normal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44632]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truly fearless think of themselves as normal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That in such righteousness To them by faith imputed they may find  Justification towards God, and peace   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14979]]></link><description><![CDATA[That in such righteousness To them by faith imputed they may find  Justification towards God, and peace   Of conscience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2632]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From this entertainment industry, may the gods of language protect us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33131]]></link><description><![CDATA[From this entertainment industry, may the gods of language protect us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When prosperity comes, do not use all of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1454]]></link><description><![CDATA[When prosperity comes, do not use all of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Becoming a grandmother is wonderful.
