When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When there is deliberate, intentional violence by man against man, very particular feelings are generated, ...

There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it. And yet it has to be said.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God created man in His own image, says the Bible; philosophers reverse the process: they create God in theirs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17694]]></link><description><![CDATA[God created man in His own image, says the Bible; philosophers reverse the process: they create God in theirs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, we started about 24 years ago demonstrating corn-husk weaving at the Boone County Conservatory and, well, one thing leads ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, we started about 24 years ago demonstrating corn-husk weaving at the Boone County Conservatory and, well, one thing leads to another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man of courage is also full of faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10278]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man of courage is also full of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European.
