The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To err is human. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14171]]></link><description><![CDATA[To err is human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In vain does anyone pretend that he will be a martyr for his religion, when he will not rule an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7336]]></link><description><![CDATA[In vain does anyone pretend that he will be a martyr for his religion, when he will not rule an appetite nor restrain lust nor subdue a passion nor cross his covetousness and ambition for the sake of it, and in hope of that eternal life which God that cannot lie hath promised.

Thus it must be a decisive rule of every Christian fellowship that each individual is prohibited from saying much that occurs to him. This prohibition does not include the personal word of advice and guidance. But to speak about a brother is forbidden, even under the cloak of help and goodwill; for it is precisely in this guise that the spirit of hatred among brothers creeps in when it is seeking to create mischief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How goes the enemy? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27656]]></link><description><![CDATA[How goes the enemy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you recall that night in June Upon the Danube River;  We listened to the landler-tune,   We ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you recall that night in June Upon the Danube River;  We listened to the landler-tune,   We watched the moonbeams quiver.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the brave know how to forgive; it is the most refined and generous pitch of virtue human nature can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the brave know how to forgive; it is the most refined and generous pitch of virtue human nature can arrive at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51151]]></link><description><![CDATA[He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51151</guid></item></channel></rss>
