But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26523]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The body, enervated by the excesses of the preceding day, weighs down and prostates the mind also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50331]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body, enervated by the excesses of the preceding day, weighs down and prostates the mind also.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48579]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist  Continuing a series on God and the human condition:  If we are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6653]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist  Continuing a series on God and the human condition:  If we are directed only by our particular natures, and regulate our inclinations by no higher rule than that of our reasons, we are but moralists; divinity will still call us heathens. Therefore this great work of charity must have other motives, ends, and impulsions. I give no alms to satisfy the hunger of my brother, but to fulfil and accomplish the will and command of my God; I draw not my purse for his sake that demands it, but his that enjoined it; I relieve no man upon the rhetoric of his miseries, nor to content mine own commiserating disposition, for this is still but moral charity, and an act that oweth more to passion than reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no basis for any rumors that Steve Case is leaving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34292]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no basis for any rumors that Steve Case is leaving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always say, as you know, that if my fellow citizens want to go to Hell I will help them. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9909]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always say, as you know, that if my fellow citizens want to go to Hell I will help them.

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most CPAs do between 45 to 50 percent of their work in two months out of the year.
