This is essential prayer: uttered or unexpressed, it is equally prayer. It is the soul's desire after God going forth in a manifestation, ... the soul striving after God. This is a prayer that may exist without ceasing, consisting, as it does, not in doing or saying this or that, but in temper and attitude of the spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a suggestive idea to track those worn feet backward through all the paths they have trodden ever since ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15560]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a suggestive idea to track those worn feet backward through all the paths they have trodden ever since they were the tender and rosy little feet of a baby, and (cold as they now are) were kept warm in his mother's hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The war on terrorism is still his strong suit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28645]]></link><description><![CDATA[The war on terrorism is still his strong suit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the privilege of genius that to it life never grows commonplace as to the rest of us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17346]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the privilege of genius that to it life never grows commonplace as to the rest of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who would give a law to lovers?

The knowledge of God that men have by virtue of Jesus' revelation is quite enough for men to live by in this life, and to live gloriously and thankfully by, Christians maintain -- the knowledge that God the Creator, the Almighty and Eternal, the Lord of history, is man's Heavenly Father, and that love might well be, and indeed is, the ultimate meaning of human existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where's the snow That fell the year that's fled--where's the snow? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where's the snow That fell the year that's fled--where's the snow?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one fastens where there is gaine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one fastens where there is gaine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Congress is so strange.

You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is no hard matter to adhere to God while you are in the enjoyment of His comforts and consolations; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6559]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is no hard matter to adhere to God while you are in the enjoyment of His comforts and consolations; but if you would prove your fidelity to Him, you must be willing to follow Him through the paths of dryness and desertion. The truth of a friend is not known while he is receiving favours and benefits from us; but if he remain faithful to us when we treat him with coldness and neglect, it will be a proof of the sincerity of his attachment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inward rest... gives an air of leisure to [Christ's] crowded life: above all, there is in this Man a secret ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inward rest... gives an air of leisure to [Christ's] crowded life: above all, there is in this Man a secret and a power of dealing with the waste-products of life, the waste of pain, disappointment, enmity, death -- turning to divine uses the abuses of man, transforming arid places of pain to fruitfulness, triumphing at last in death, and making a short life of thirty years or so, abruptly cut off, to be a "finished" life.
