For if we do not trust as much as we pray, we fail in full worship to our Lord in our prayer; and also we hinder and hurt ourselves. The reason is that we do not know truly that our Lord is the ground from which our prayer springeth; nor do we know that it is given us by his grace and his love. If we knew this, it would make us trust to have of our Lord's gifts all that we desire. For I am sure that no man asketh mercy and grace with sincerity, without mercy and grace being given to him first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4180]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis I that call, remember Milo's end, Wedged in that timber which he strove to rend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52560]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis I that call, remember Milo's end, Wedged in that timber which he strove to rend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am delighted that we have found money for the refurbishment of many of our leisure facilities, including Wyndley Swimming ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38470]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am delighted that we have found money for the refurbishment of many of our leisure facilities, including Wyndley Swimming Pool, one of the busiest in the region.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cat's got her own opinion of human beings.

Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let lessons of stern yesterdays . . . be your food, your drink, your rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let lessons of stern yesterdays . . . be your food, your drink, your rest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we have a serious violation at four polling stations, that is not many voters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34836]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we have a serious violation at four polling stations, that is not many voters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis said that absence conquers love; But oh! believe it not  I've tried, alas! its power to prove,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/162]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis said that absence conquers love; But oh! believe it not  I've tried, alas! its power to prove,   But thou art not forgot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19730]]></link><description><![CDATA[A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5119]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5119</guid></item></channel></rss>
