It is no mere subjective instinct, ... no blind outreach. If it met no response, no answer, it would soon be weeded out of the race. Prayer has stood the test of experience. In fact, the very desire to pray is in itself prophetic of a heavenly Friend. So this native need of the soul rose out of the divine origin of the soul, and it has steadily verified itself as a safe guide to reality. In the first instance it is not asking for anything, it is not petition; all it seeks is God Himself: Let me find Thee, let me know Thee, then I will ask of Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When he who hears does not know what he who speaks means, and when he who speaks does not know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46478]]></link><description><![CDATA[When he who hears does not know what he who speaks means, and when he who speaks does not know what he himself means, that is philosophy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simon will undergo treatment and we'll review the situation ahead of Sunday's game in Sydney. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simon will undergo treatment and we'll review the situation ahead of Sunday's game in Sydney.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why most of us never got in trouble.
