Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the investigation implicates Syria, are we going to wage war on it?

For when the heart really pants and longs after God, its prayer is a praying, as moved and animated by the Spirit of God; it is the breath or inspiration of God, stirring, moving and opening itself in the heart. For though the early nature, our old man, can oblige or accustom himself to take heavenly words at certain times into his mouth, yet this is a certain truth, that nothing ever did, or can have the least desire or tendency to ascend to heaven, but that which came down from heaven; and therefore nothing in the heart can pray, aspire, and long after God, but the Spirit of God moving and stirring in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36441]]></link><description><![CDATA[An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their weapons are formidable, ...
