Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Upon the cunning loom of thought We weave our fancies, so and so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Upon the cunning loom of thought We weave our fancies, so and so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nine tenths of education is encouragement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nine tenths of education is encouragement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64030]]></link><description><![CDATA[An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live is to love; all reason is against it; instinct is for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25832]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live is to love; all reason is against it; instinct is for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56343]]></link><description><![CDATA[My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've got to keep breathing.
