The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A quiet mind cureth all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56292]]></link><description><![CDATA[A quiet mind cureth all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah! what avail the largest gifts of Heaven, When drooping health and spirits go amiss?  How tasteless then whatever ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah! what avail the largest gifts of Heaven, When drooping health and spirits go amiss?  How tasteless then whatever can be given!   Health is the vital principle of bliss,    And exercise of health.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19146]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Restive horses must be roughly dealt with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Restive horses must be roughly dealt with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A happy family is but an earlier heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21597]]></link><description><![CDATA[A happy family is but an earlier heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are not practicing, remember, someone somewhere is practicing, and when you meet him he will win ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47976]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are not practicing, remember, someone somewhere is practicing, and when you meet him he will win]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every question, there is an answer.

Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you bored with life?
