It is no mere subjective instinct, ... no blind outreach. If it met no response, no answer, it would soon be weeded out of the race. Prayer has stood the test of experience. In fact, the very desire to pray is in itself prophetic of a heavenly Friend. So this native need of the soul rose out of the divine origin of the soul, and it has steadily verified itself as a safe guide to reality. In the first instance it is not asking for anything, it is not petition; all it seeks is God Himself: Let me find Thee, let me know Thee, then I will ask of Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/325]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I esteem death a trifle, if not caused by guilt. [Lat., Dum ne ob male facta peream, parvi aestimo.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18472]]></link><description><![CDATA[I esteem death a trifle, if not caused by guilt. [Lat., Dum ne ob male facta peream, parvi aestimo.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miserable man makes a peny of a farthing, and the liberall of a farthing sixe pence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49895]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miserable man makes a peny of a farthing, and the liberall of a farthing sixe pence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet the success of plans and the advantage to be derived from them do not at all times agree, seeing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet the success of plans and the advantage to be derived from them do not at all times agree, seeing the gods claim to themselves the right to decide as to the final result. [Lat., Tametsi prosperitas simul utilitasque consultorum non obique concordent, quoniam captorum eventus superae sibi vindicant potestates.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the advantages to the new plant was that we've promoted people and moved them down there for positions. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35359]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the advantages to the new plant was that we've promoted people and moved them down there for positions.

The passage of Scripture which subdued and controlled my mind was this, "The servant of the Lord must not strive." It was painful indeed to see the church, with the exception of the aisles, almost forsaken; but I thought that if God would only give a double blessing to the congregation that did attend, there would on the whole be as much good done as if the congregation were doubled and the blessing limited to only half the amount. This comforted me many, many times, when, without such a reflection, I should have sunk under my burden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Criminals do not die by the hands of the law; they die by the hands of other men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Criminals do not die by the hands of the law; they die by the hands of other men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I realize that patriotism is not enough.

The first is its compromised, deficient understanding of revelation. Without Biblical historicity and veracity behind the Word of God, theology can only grow closer to Hinduism. Second, the modern Christian is drastically weak in an unmediated, persona. experiential knowledge of God. Often, what passes for religious experience is a communal emotion felt in church services, in meetings, in singing or contrived fellowship. Few Christians would know God on their own. Third, the modern church is often pathetically feeble in the expression of its focal principle of community. It has become an adult social club, preaching shop, or minister-dominated group. With these weaknesses, modern Christianity cannot hope to understand why people have turned to the East, let alone stand against the trend and offer an alternative.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even ministers of good things are like torches, a light to others, waste and destruction to themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even ministers of good things are like torches, a light to others, waste and destruction to themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  I look on all the world as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  I look on all the world as my parish; thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty, to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been coaching Aynsley in all sports for years and she's always been a clutch performer.
