That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, "Thou art my refuge, because Thou art my home". Such a faith will not lead to presumption. The man who can pray such a prayer will know better than another that God is not mocked; that He is not a man that He should repent; that tears and entreaties will not work on Him to the breach of one of His laws; that for God to give a man, because he asked for it, that which was not in harmony with His laws of truth and right, would be to damn him -- to cast him into the outer darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1223]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour.

Be near me when all else is from me drifting;   Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine, And kindly faces to my own uplifting   The love that answers mine. I have but Thee, my Father! let Thy spirit   Be with me then to comfort and uphold; No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit,   Nor street of shining gold.
