A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities. [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, ye saints, look here and wonder, See the place where Jesus lay;  He has burst His bands asunder; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, ye saints, look here and wonder, See the place where Jesus lay;  He has burst His bands asunder;   He has borne our sins away;    Joyful tidings,     Yes, the Lord has risen to-day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's great to call up somebody in the community to help out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41548]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's great to call up somebody in the community to help out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The doctor should be opaque to his patients and, like a mirror, should show them nothing but what is shown ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63947]]></link><description><![CDATA[The doctor should be opaque to his patients and, like a mirror, should show them nothing but what is shown to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our inventions mirror our secret wishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our inventions mirror our secret wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every situation, every moment -- is of infinite worth; for it is the representative of a whole eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every situation, every moment -- is of infinite worth; for it is the representative of a whole eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody remembers Ironton in its heyday in the '40s and '50s, that's when Ironton was booming and we've gone downhill, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody remembers Ironton in its heyday in the '40s and '50s, that's when Ironton was booming and we've gone downhill, and we have, we've hit rock bottom, ...
