We must ask that we may receive; but that we should receive what we ask in respect of our lower needs, is not God's end in making us pray, for He could give us everything without that: to bring His child to His knee, God withholds that man may ask.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16550]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Back in the Saddle Again ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Back in the Saddle Again]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even when the wound is healed the scar remains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even when the wound is healed the scar remains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every month when my check came we would do one nice thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every month when my check came we would do one nice thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wonder what Jesus would do if He had to reload Windows 95 for the eighth time today ? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61652]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wonder what Jesus would do if He had to reload Windows 95 for the eighth time today ?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Extremes meet and there is no better example than the haughtiness of humility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Extremes meet and there is no better example than the haughtiness of humility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never trust anyone who wants what you've got.
