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[While I plan, and plan, my hair Is gray before I know it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51725]]></link><description><![CDATA[While I plan, and plan, my hair Is gray before I know it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a firm believer in the power of negative advertising.
