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[O Popular Applause! what heart of man Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2921]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Popular Applause! what heart of man Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone tells me that the Italian championship is the toughest in the world, but I'm not afraid.

And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evil-doing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ. Now if this be true, and if sin and scandal may conceivably penetrate even the inmost circle of the chosen, how great an error it is to break, because of these offenses, the unity of the Church, and institute some new communion, purer far than the Churches of Corinth and Galatia, which were not abandoned but reformed, and more impenetrable to corruption than the little group of those who ate and drank with Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To look into that persons eyes and find yourself so completely lost in another world, a world full of absolute ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25770]]></link><description><![CDATA[To look into that persons eyes and find yourself so completely lost in another world, a world full of absolute comfort and happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...the fog is rising. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24139]]></link><description><![CDATA[...the fog is rising.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please Note: "Ouch" is not a term used in Judo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Please Note: "Ouch" is not a term used in Judo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Focus on your potential instead of your limitations ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Focus on your potential instead of your limitations]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4663]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a season for man's merit as well as for fruit. [Fr., Le merite des hommes a sa saison ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27387]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a season for man's merit as well as for fruit. [Fr., Le merite des hommes a sa saison aussi bien que les fruits.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone suffers wrongs for which there is no remedy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone suffers wrongs for which there is no remedy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be scared is sensible, to be comfortable is suicidal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8989]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be scared is sensible, to be comfortable is suicidal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Caused by a dearth of scandal should the vapors Distress our fair ones--let them read the prayers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Caused by a dearth of scandal should the vapors Distress our fair ones--let them read the prayers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[because the hole is down in the ground, not up in the air.
