Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Protest long enough that you are right, and you will be wrong ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Protest long enough that you are right, and you will be wrong]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's the humour of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20065]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's the humour of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a system that is broken, ...

Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments.
