It is the only power in the world that seems to overcome the so-called "laws of nature"; the occasions on which prayer has dramatically done this have been termed "miracles". But a constant, quieter miracle takes place hourly in the hearts of men and women who have discovered that prayer supplies them with a steady flow of sustaining power in their daily lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! sir, In what have I offended you?

It is love alone in the holy Deity that will allow no peace to the wicked, nor ever cease its judgments till every sinner is forced to confess that it is good for him that he has been in trouble, and thankfully own that not the wrath but the love of God has plucked out that right eye, cut off that right band, which he ought to have done but would not do for himself and his own salvation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The King turned a deaf ear to friendly countries' calls for rapprochement with political parties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41280]]></link><description><![CDATA[The King turned a deaf ear to friendly countries' calls for rapprochement with political parties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To preserve an unclouded capacity for the enjoyment of life is an unusual moral and psychological achievement.

It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6729]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   The two great features of Protestant theology are its doctrines of justification by faith and the law as the rule of life. This is a synthesis of New Testament grace and Old Testament ethics. With this synthesis, Protestants have solved the problem of finding a gracious God, but they have not solved the problem of finding gracious neighbors. They can fellowship with God because he is gracious; but they find it difficult to fellowship with one another, because they are not so gracious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cause ceasing, the effect ceases also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48911]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cause ceasing, the effect ceases also.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frigidity is desire imagined by a woman who doesn't desire the man offering himself to her.
