Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main storm dynamics are here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32496]]></link><description><![CDATA[The main storm dynamics are here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is much easier to show compassion to animals.

They have Christ, they have God, and they are satisfied. There can be no monotony in the contemplation and worship of the Infinite. Their great possession is unchangeable, but also inexhaustible; no change is possible where all is love and truth. The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the alchemy of man's soul almost all noble attributes- courage, honor, love, hope, faith, duty, loyalty, and so on- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52275]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the alchemy of man's soul almost all noble attributes- courage, honor, love, hope, faith, duty, loyalty, and so on- can be transmuted into ruthlessness.

A fine cold draught blew over the knoll. He thought of the woman. Now he would have given all he had or ever might have to hold her warm in his arms, both of them wrapped in one blanket, and sleep.

Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the fact that a person has riches that keeps them from heaven, but the fact that riches ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53643]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the fact that a person has riches that keeps them from heaven, but the fact that riches have them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, father's gone to market-town, he was up before the day, And Jamie's after robins, and the man is making ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, father's gone to market-town, he was up before the day, And Jamie's after robins, and the man is making hay,  And whistling down the hollow goes the boy that minds the mill,   While mother from the kitchen door is calling with a will,    "Polly!--Polly!--The cows are in the corn!     Oh, where's Polly?"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Day is a snow-white Dove of heaven That from the East glad message brings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Day is a snow-white Dove of heaven That from the East glad message brings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret to humor is surprise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55006]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret to humor is surprise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They be blind leaders of the blind.
