And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons for the ease of my own intercessory prayers. One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him. And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin (short list of candidates for this post will be forwarded on demand). Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray against my own besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best reformers the world has ever seen are those who commence on themselves ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53196]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best reformers the world has ever seen are those who commence on themselves]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one's ever studied them in the Pacific states before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39742]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one's ever studied them in the Pacific states before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bitter drug oft brings relief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50700]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bitter drug oft brings relief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to love and be wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25831]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible to love and be wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a lot of corporations that aren't paying their share at all.

And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are God-like, and that God's grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture: and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today, our greatest public policy concerns know no borders, ...
