The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prognostics do not always prove prophecies, at least the wisest prophets make sure of the event first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prognostics do not always prove prophecies, at least the wisest prophets make sure of the event first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're losing time.

Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2283]]></link><description><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it -- this is a hard lesson.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know when you’re in a movie and you don’t know anybody else in the theater and the most beautiful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13731]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know when you’re in a movie and you don’t know anybody else in the theater and the most beautiful thing happens on the screen?
