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[Ascension He has gone away, the Well-Beloved,  For our sake!

The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feelings and our manners and rules the world with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feelings and our manners and rules the world with the hand of a despot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We now believe that the first Fed rate hike will not come until December, and we continue to worry the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38038]]></link><description><![CDATA[We now believe that the first Fed rate hike will not come until December, and we continue to worry the Fed may be forced to ease again before it begins hiking rates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46101]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First we form habits, then they form us.
