It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot expect people to take seriously our belief in objective truth if, in our practice, we indicate only a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6204]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot expect people to take seriously our belief in objective truth if, in our practice, we indicate only a quantitative difference between all men who are in ecclesiastical structures or who use theological language.

Thrilling and costly projects will come into existence, but not as ends in themselves, and the group will not become a means to [such ends]. The group will never forget that one of its primary functions is to up build the members in love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I grant you, friends, if you should fright the ladies out of their wits, they would have no more discretion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60925]]></link><description><![CDATA[I grant you, friends, if you should fright the ladies out of their wits, they would have no more discretion but to hang us; but I will aggravate my voice so that I will roar you as gently as any suckling dove; I will roar you an 'twere any nightingale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know coach's record.
