We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The basic difference between being assertive and being aggressive is how our words and behavior affect the rights and well ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1065]]></link><description><![CDATA[The basic difference between being assertive and being aggressive is how our words and behavior affect the rights and well being of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All who (like him) have writ ill plays before, For they, like thieves, condemned, are hangman made,  To execute ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10747]]></link><description><![CDATA[All who (like him) have writ ill plays before, For they, like thieves, condemned, are hangman made,  To execute the members of their trade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This band goes so well with the other two and we wanted to give them as much as a chance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38215]]></link><description><![CDATA[This band goes so well with the other two and we wanted to give them as much as a chance as possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All our pompe the earth covers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49106]]></link><description><![CDATA[All our pompe the earth covers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all.

People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church.
