And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is a great institution, but who wants to live in an institution? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is a great institution, but who wants to live in an institution?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have an engagement ring, which is my favorite accessory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39297]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have an engagement ring, which is my favorite accessory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn’t really asleep I was just meditating on unconsciousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wasn’t really asleep I was just meditating on unconsciousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I called the New World into existence to redress the balance of the Old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2400]]></link><description><![CDATA[I called the New World into existence to redress the balance of the Old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The United States Constitution has proven itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54544]]></link><description><![CDATA[The United States Constitution has proven itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is what we are looking for from everyone.

This is the best outward prayer book you can have, as it will turn you to an inward book, and spirit of prayer in your heart, which is a continual longing desire of the heart after God, his divine life, and Holy Spirit. When, for the sake of this inward prayer, you retire at any time of the day, never begin till you know and feel, why and wherefore you are going to pray; and let this why and wherefore, form and direct everything that comes from you, whether it be in thought or in word.
