For when the heart really pants and longs after God, its prayer is a praying, as moved and animated by the Spirit of God; it is the breath or inspiration of God, stirring, moving and opening itself in the heart. For though the early nature, our old man, can oblige or accustom himself to take heavenly words at certain times into his mouth, yet this is a certain truth, that nothing ever did, or can have the least desire or tendency to ascend to heaven, but that which came down from heaven; and therefore nothing in the heart can pray, aspire, and long after God, but the Spirit of God moving and stirring in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10306]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The path to the Mideast is litteredwith Nobel peace laureateswho have not yet achievedwhat can only be achieved ineach heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25737]]></link><description><![CDATA[The path to the Mideast is litteredwith Nobel peace laureateswho have not yet achievedwhat can only be achieved ineach heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With faces like dead lovers who died true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14870]]></link><description><![CDATA[With faces like dead lovers who died true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The English instinctively admire any man who has no talent and is modest about it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36976]]></link><description><![CDATA[The English instinctively admire any man who has no talent and is modest about it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With development infrastructure, sometimes we would find (companies) spending more time working on the (Linux) infrastructure for the project than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40467]]></link><description><![CDATA[With development infrastructure, sometimes we would find (companies) spending more time working on the (Linux) infrastructure for the project than working on the project itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take care in your minutes, and the hours will take care of themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take care in your minutes, and the hours will take care of themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best-concerted schemes men lay for fame, Die fast away: only themselves die faster.  The far-fam'd sculptor, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15092]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best-concerted schemes men lay for fame, Die fast away: only themselves die faster.  The far-fam'd sculptor, and the laurell'd bard,   Those bold insurancers of deathless fame,    Supply their little feeble aids in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only summit meeting that can succeed is the one that does not take place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12338]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only summit meeting that can succeed is the one that does not take place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This in not just a condemnation of the Holocaust.

In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Personality is only ripe when a man has made the truth his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Personality is only ripe when a man has made the truth his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a lot of pressure, a lot of energy in this event.
