When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember the silence, the eerie sound of silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28879]]></link><description><![CDATA[I remember the silence, the eerie sound of silence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was a good deal shock'd; not shock'd at tears, For women shed and use them at their liking;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58787]]></link><description><![CDATA[She was a good deal shock'd; not shock'd at tears, For women shed and use them at their liking;  But there is something when man's eye appears   Wet, still more disagreeable and striking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am unable to understand how a man of honor could take a newspaper in his hands without a shudder ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44481]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am unable to understand how a man of honor could take a newspaper in his hands without a shudder of disgust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buying is a profound pleasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Buying is a profound pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11097]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instinct is untaught ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instinct is untaught ability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you think of the Caribbean today, you think of clear blue warm water, ...

Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morale is a state of mind.
