But this kind of praying, which takes all its thoughts and words only from the state of our hearts, makes it impossible for us to be strangers to ourselves. The strength of every sin, the power of every evil temper, the most secret workings of our hearts, the weakness of any or all our virtues, is with a noonday clearness forced to be seen, as soon as the heart is made our prayer book, and we pray nothing, but according to what we read, and find there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought my talent would transcend my outspokenness.

The discoveries of modern physical and biological science, of astronomy, and of psychology, have profoundly influenced his conception of the "size" of God. If there be a Mind behind the immense complexities of the phenomena that man can observe, then it is that of a Being tremendous in His power and wisdom: it is emphatically not that of a little god. It is perfectly conceivable that such a Being has a moral purpose which is being worked out on the stage of this small planet. It is even possible to believe that such a God deliberately reduced Himself to the stature of humanity in order to visit the earth in Person, as all Christians affirm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A real estate closer.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item></channel></rss>
