Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you yourself shall be a miracle.

That is one of the best proofs of its divine inspiration. The prophets had the forward look [and] great things were yet to come. As one of the most daring expressed it, the old and hallowed covenant, made by God at the Exodus, would be superseded by a new and higher relation; God would write his law into the hearts of the people; the old drill in outward statutes would disappear, for all men would know God by an inward experience of forgiveness and love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is essential that the US government guarantees his safety when he visits this country in the future, including his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30107]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is essential that the US government guarantees his safety when he visits this country in the future, including his scheduled visit to the United Nations in New York,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601  There is nothing capricious about religion.

We do not get the soul in different ways, under different laws, from those in which we get the body and the mind. If a man does not exercise his arm, he develops no biceps muscles and if a man does not exercise his soul, he acquires no muscle in his soul, no strength of character, no vigour of moral fibre, nor beauty of spiritual growth. Love is not a thing of enthusiastic emotion. It is a rich, strong, manly, vigorous expression of the whole round Christian character -- the Christ-like nature in its fullest development. And the constituents of this great character are only to be built up by ceaseless practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's just scary how hurricanes or any kind of storms could just hit people and let people die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39010]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's just scary how hurricanes or any kind of storms could just hit people and let people die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Asthma doesn't seem to bother me any more unless I'm around cigars or dogs.
