We sadly undervalue prayer when we conceive it in these terms, just as we should underestimate rain by describing it as something that fills the birdbath in our garden. Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality -- the ultimate integration of man's highest faculties. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Thou wert not, Solomon! in all thy glory Array'd," the lilies cry, "in robes like ours;  How vain your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25095]]></link><description><![CDATA["Thou wert not, Solomon! in all thy glory Array'd," the lilies cry, "in robes like ours;  How vain your grandeur!

Further, each local church is a church only in so far as it is the expression, in a particular place, of this new race that has come into the world through Christ Jesus.

By giving ourselves wholly to Him. If you give yourself by halves, you cannot find full rest -- there will ever be a lurking disquiet in that half which is withheld... All peace and happiness in this world depend upon unreserved self-oblation to God. If this be hearty and entire, the result will be an unfailing, ever-increasing happiness, which nothing can disturb. There is no real happiness in this life save that which is the result of a peaceful heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modern Americans are so exposed, peered at, inquired about, and spied upon as to be increasingly without privacy--members of a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modern Americans are so exposed, peered at, inquired about, and spied upon as to be increasingly without privacy--members of a ;naked society and denizens of a goldfish bowl.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A humanist is anyone who rejects the attempt to describe or account for man wholly on the basis of physics, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19979]]></link><description><![CDATA[A humanist is anyone who rejects the attempt to describe or account for man wholly on the basis of physics, chemistry or animal behaviour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have patience with all things, but first of all with yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have patience with all things, but first of all with yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22021]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped. All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective.

We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1621]]></link><description><![CDATA[The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Several processes have been initiated over the last couple of years that not only reduce the amount of paper used, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Several processes have been initiated over the last couple of years that not only reduce the amount of paper used, but also help the firm operate more efficiently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This year it's a little easier, they make less mistakes in practice.

The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never without a shilling in my purse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never without a shilling in my purse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 And have the bright immensities received our risen Lord Where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 And have the bright immensities received our risen Lord Where light-years frame the Pleiades and point Orion's sword?

If these are gifted with heroic qualities, to vanquish the oppressors of Israel, it is nevertheless not this heroism that forms their principal characteristic. That consists in judging. They restore... the authority of the law. For this reason, God raises up judges, not princes. The title sets forth both their work and the occasion of their appointment.
