Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never morning wore To evening, but some heart did break. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never morning wore To evening, but some heart did break.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That all-softening, overpowering knell, The tocsin of the soul--the dinner bell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4103]]></link><description><![CDATA[That all-softening, overpowering knell, The tocsin of the soul--the dinner bell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cold blows the wind against the hill, And cold upon the plain;  I sit me by the bank, until ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cold blows the wind against the hill, And cold upon the plain;  I sit me by the bank, until   The violets come again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was as close to perfect as anyone can be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28423]]></link><description><![CDATA[She was as close to perfect as anyone can be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those things that hurt, instruct. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those things that hurt, instruct.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of dirt and poison, we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax, thus furnishing mankind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of dirt and poison, we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax, thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead.

One day others will come who will do the same things better. And some day he will have been completely forgotten--even if he should have built the pyramids or the St. Gotthard tunnel or invented atomic fission. And one thing is even more certain: whether the achievement of a man's life is great or small, significant or insignificant, he will one day stand before his eternal judge, and everything that he has done and performed will be no more than a mole hill, and then he will have nothing better to do than hope for something he has not earned: not for a crown, but quite simply for gracious judgment which he has not deserved. That is the only thing that will count then, achievement or not. "My kindness shall not depart from you." By this man lives.
