The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For Catholics before Vatican II, the land of the free was pre-eminently the land of Sister Says-except, of course, for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5302]]></link><description><![CDATA[For Catholics before Vatican II, the land of the free was pre-eminently the land of Sister Says-except, of course, for Sister, for whom it was the land of Father Says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Dumont actor was considered to be too stilted - the way we Dumont actors used to speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40636]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Dumont actor was considered to be too stilted - the way we Dumont actors used to speak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The impression is] that Dade County is like Alice in Wonderland where up is down, down is up.

Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</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.
