What heavy burdens from our bosoms take,  What parched ground refresh as with a shower! We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all, the distant and the near, Stands forth in sunny outline brave and clear; We kneel, how weak! we rise, how full of power! Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,  Or other, that we are not always strong, That we are ever overborne with care, That we should ever weak or heratless be, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy and strength and courage are with Thee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether or not you write well, write bravely ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether or not you write well, write bravely]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concentrated political power is the most dangerous thing on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concentrated political power is the most dangerous thing on earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sisters are always drying their hair.

These paintings, these poems, and these demonstrations... are the expression of men who are struggling with their appalling lostness. Dare we laugh at such things? Dare we feel superior when we view their tortured expressions in their art? Christians should stop laughing and take such men seriously. Then we shall have the right to speak again to our generation. These men are dying while they live, yet where is our compassion for them? There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know how one actually would define obscenity.

Do they not set forth the covenant of grace? The doctrine of justification by faith -- does not Paul in his Epistle to the Romans prove it from Genesis and from the Psalms? Where is the doctrine of substitution and the vicarious sufferings of the messiah set forth more clearly than in Leviticus and in the 53rd of Isaiah? The term "Old Testament" leads people to fancy it is an antiquated book; whereas, in many respects, it is newer than the New Testament, referring more fully to the age of glory and blessedness on the earth which is still before us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65121]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When any one State in the American Union refuses obedience to the Confederation by which they have bound themselves, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44725]]></link><description><![CDATA[When any one State in the American Union refuses obedience to the Confederation by which they have bound themselves, the rest have a natural right to compel them to obedience]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stay till the lame messenger come, if you will know the truth of the thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stay till the lame messenger come, if you will know the truth of the thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The atom, being for all practical purposes the stable unit of the physical plane, is a constantly changing vortex of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9537]]></link><description><![CDATA[The atom, being for all practical purposes the stable unit of the physical plane, is a constantly changing vortex of reactions. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Englishman can get along with sex quite perfectly so long as he can pretend that it isn't sex but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36975]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Englishman can get along with sex quite perfectly so long as he can pretend that it isn't sex but something else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't go looking for trouble.

It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...  Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1741]]></link><description><![CDATA[None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look out into the universe and contemplate the glory of God.
