He was never for one moment of any day out of touch with God. He was speaking and listening to the Father all day long; and yet He, who was in such constant touch with God, felt the need, as well as the joy, of more prolonged and more quiet communion with Him... Most of the reasons that drive us to pray for strength and forgiveness could never have driven Him; and yet He needed prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye living lamps, by whose dear light The nightingale does sit so late;  And studying all the summer night, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17580]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye living lamps, by whose dear light The nightingale does sit so late;  And studying all the summer night,   Her matchless songs does meditate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59719]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have seen men march to the wars, and then I have watched their homeward tread,  And they brought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57146]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have seen men march to the wars, and then I have watched their homeward tread,  And they brought back bodies of living men,   But their eyes were fold and dead.    So, Buddy no matter what else the fame,     No matter what else the prize,      I want you to come back thru The Flame       With the boy-look still in your eyes!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat.

This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't bring this church to the United States to be another Nigerian church. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28561]]></link><description><![CDATA[We didn't bring this church to the United States to be another Nigerian church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis said the lion will turn and flee From a maid in the pride of her purity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48774]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis said the lion will turn and flee From a maid in the pride of her purity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you get closer to the election, the likelihood that Congress is going to be able to pass legislation, particularly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34650]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you get closer to the election, the likelihood that Congress is going to be able to pass legislation, particularly on what might be viewed as partisan or difficult issues, diminishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee commands enough that obeyes a wise man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee commands enough that obeyes a wise man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sleep...
