But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1169]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ideal museum show would be a mating of Brideshead Revisited with House & Garden. provoking intense and pleasurable nostalgia ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43414]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ideal museum show would be a mating of Brideshead Revisited with House & Garden. provoking intense and pleasurable nostalgia for a past that none of its audience has had.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money just draws flies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money just draws flies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have it in our power to begin the world over again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62227]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have it in our power to begin the world over again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are everywhere and still watching as well ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30134]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are everywhere and still watching as well]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Nature had made all her birds, With no more cares to think on,  She gave a rippling laugh ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4419]]></link><description><![CDATA[When Nature had made all her birds, With no more cares to think on,  She gave a rippling laugh and out   There flew a Bobolinkon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What will the U.S. senators have to say if there is, as many over here and in the rest of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40222]]></link><description><![CDATA[What will the U.S. senators have to say if there is, as many over here and in the rest of the world suspect, no substance to the allegations against my father and me?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We voted on it, but that doesn't mean it went through. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41153]]></link><description><![CDATA[We voted on it, but that doesn't mean it went through.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43725]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is there evil but on earth?

This He does for the sake of what man is to inherit, to become. And for the means, He gives him over to a Person, Christ, and a community, the Church; and in attachment to these, personality grows, freedom is attained, sin is forgiven, estrangement is ended, capacities for relationship extend. Reconciliation is the Spirit's liberating work of love, exercised through a Person and a community of persons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is the orchestration of platitudes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is the orchestration of platitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The city is growing in leaps and bounds and we feel good about that.

If therefore we depart without profit, our zeal in frequenting the church will prove our condemnation. That so great a judgment comes not upon you, when ye go hence ponder the things ye have heard, and exercise yourselves in confirming our instruction -- friend with friend, fathers with their children, masters with their slaves -- so that, when ye return hither and hear from us the same counsels, ye may not be ashamed, but rejoice and be glad in the conviction that ye have put into practice the greater part of our exhortation. Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sexual regions constitute a particularly vulnerable spot, and remain so even in man, and the need for their protection ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52126]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sexual regions constitute a particularly vulnerable spot, and remain so even in man, and the need for their protection which thus exists conflicts with the prominent display required for sexual allurement.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who among us hasn't envied a cat's ability to ignore the cares of daily life and to relax completely? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who among us hasn't envied a cat's ability to ignore the cares of daily life and to relax completely?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If commerce is the engine of our economy, then advertising is the spark.
