A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.

But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man in debt is so far a slave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11473]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man in debt is so far a slave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of 30. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of 30.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'… I can't fathom my own heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61760]]></link><description><![CDATA[For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'… I can't fathom my own heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27267]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19834]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimski; for he driveth furiously.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shall be winnowed with so rough a wind That even our corn shall seem as light as chaff  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12080]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shall be winnowed with so rough a wind That even our corn shall seem as light as chaff  And good from bad find no partition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the heart grieves over what is has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19060]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the heart grieves over what is has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been blessed with very, very good weather and the wholesale price has gone down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37942]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been blessed with very, very good weather and the wholesale price has gone down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business is more exciting than any game. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Business is more exciting than any game.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The meanest floweret of the vale, The simplest note that swells the gale,  The common sun, the air, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45465]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meanest floweret of the vale, The simplest note that swells the gale,  The common sun, the air, the skies,   To him are open paradise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who trusts himself for safety to the care of a wicked man, in seeking succour meets with ruin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50839]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who trusts himself for safety to the care of a wicked man, in seeking succour meets with ruin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything depends on political developments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28494]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything depends on political developments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work is a necessity for man.

TheChrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant,who then saw for the first time that it was alive. Poor, pitiableanimal! cried the Ant disdainfully. What a sad fate is yours!While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish,ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, withpower only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail. The Chrysalisheard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after,when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenlyshaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.Behold in me, said the Butterfly, your much-pitied friend! Boastnow of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me tolisten. So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne alongand aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of theAnt forever.Appearances are deceptive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is one great art of conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is one great art of conversation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The record shows very long lapses of time when there's no movement on the case at all.

It is a part of my daily prayers that I may be permitted to visit you. I believe such a visit would do you good, and I am sure it would do me good. In fact, I have tried again and again to get to Rome, but hitherto something has always turned up to prevent me. I shall not feel that my work as missionary to the Gentiles is complete until I have preached in Rome. My mission is a universal one, knowing no bounds of race or culture--naturally, since my message is a universal one. It is a message of God's righteousness, revealed to men on a basis of faith. (Rom. 1:1-17)  Apart from this, there is nothing to be seen in the world of today but the Nemesis of sin. Take the pagan world: all men have a knowledge of God by natural religion; but the pagan world has deliberately turned its back upon this knowledge, and, for all its boasted philosophy, has degraded religion into idolatry. The natural consequence is a moral perversity horrible to contemplate. (Rom. 1:18-32)  But you, my Jewish friend, need not dwell with complacency upon the sins of the pagan world. You are guilty yourself. Do not mistake God's patience with His people for indulgence. His judgments are impartial. Knowledge or ignorance of the Law of Moses makes no difference here. The pagans have God's law written in their conscience. If they obey it, well; if not, they stand condemned. And as for you--you call yourself a Jew and pride yourself on the Law. But have you kept all its precepts? You are circumcised and so forth: that goes for nothing; God looks at the inner life of motive and affection. An honest pagan is better than a bad Jew in His sight. I do not mean to say there is no advantage in being a Jew: of this more presently ; but read your Bible and take to yourself the hard words of the prophets--spoken, remember, not to heathens, but to people who knew the Law, just as you do. No, Jew and pagan, we are in the same case. No one can stand right before God on the basis of what he has actually done. Law only serves to bring consciousness of guilt. (Rom. 2:1-3:20)  But now, Law apart, we have a revelation of God's righteousness, as I was saying (Rom. 1:17). It comes by faith, the faith of Jesus Christ; and it comes to every one, Jew or Gentile, who has faith. We have all sinned, and all of us can be made to stand right with God. That is a free gift to us, due to His graciousness. We are emancipated in Christ Jesus, who is God's appointed means of dealing with sin--a means operating by the devotion of His life, and by faith on our part. It is thus that God, having passed over sins committed in the old days when He held His hand, demonstrates His righteousness in the world of to-day; i.e., it is thus that He both shows Himself righteous, and makes those stand right before Him who have faith in Jesus Christ. No room for boasting here! No distinction of Jew and Gentile here! (Rom. 3:21-31)  But what about Abraham? you will say. Did not he win God's graciousness by what he did? Not at all. Read your Bible, and you will find that the promise was given to him before he was circumcised; and the Bible expressly says that "he had faith in God, and that counted for righteousness." The same principle applies to us all. (Rom. 4:1-25)  To return to the point, then, we stand right with God on the ground of faith, and we are at peace with Him, come what may. God's love floods our whole being--a love shown in the fact that Christ died for us, not because we were good people for whom anyone might die, but actually while we were sinners. He died, not for His friends, but for His enemies. Very well then, if while we were enemies Christ died for us, surely He will save us now that we are friends! If He reconciled us to God by dying for us, surely He will save us by living for us, and in us. There is something to boast about! (Rom. 5:1-11)  Christ died and lives for us all, I say. But, you ask, how can the life and death of one individual have consequences for so many? You believe that we all suffer for Adam's sin; and if so, why should we not all profit by Christ's righteousness? Of course there is really no comparison between the power of evil to propagate itself, and the power of good to win the victory, for that is a matter of God's graciousness. However, you see my point : one man sinned--a whole race suffers for it; one Man lived righteously--a whole race wins life by it. But what about Law? you say. Law only came in by the way, to intensify the consciousness of guilt. (Rom. 5:12-21) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not ourselves When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind  To suffer with the body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21030]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not ourselves When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind  To suffer with the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy is nothing but Discretion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophy is nothing but Discretion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46496</guid></item></channel></rss>
