My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want.

In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With any bank consolidation, there are efficiencies to be gained. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41947]]></link><description><![CDATA[With any bank consolidation, there are efficiencies to be gained.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is safety in reserve, but no attraction.
