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[Pride is the deadliest of sins, but I was bursting with pride ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39002]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride is the deadliest of sins, but I was bursting with pride]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet I argue not Again Heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot  Of right or hope; but still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet I argue not Again Heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot  Of right or hope; but still bear up and steer   Right onward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our serve is going to be one of our major strengths.
