If God does not will that we should be united, what can our devices for producing it avail?

Just pursue the thoughtunceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all yourfaculties and powers become directed to that end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A frequent intercession with God, earnestly beseeching Him to forgive the sins of all mankind, to bless them with His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7442]]></link><description><![CDATA[A frequent intercession with God, earnestly beseeching Him to forgive the sins of all mankind, to bless them with His providence, enlighten them with His Spirit, and bring them to everlasting happiness, is the divinest exercise that the heart of man can be engaged in. Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evil that men do lives on the front pages of greedy newspapers, but the good is oft interred apathetically ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30723]]></link><description><![CDATA[The evil that men do lives on the front pages of greedy newspapers, but the good is oft interred apathetically inside]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty is the only sure bait when you angle for praise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty is the only sure bait when you angle for praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom all solace to man gives: He lives at ease that freely lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom all solace to man gives: He lives at ease that freely lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it; the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it; the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179   (Peter) Waldo, a business-man in Lyons, France, in about A.D. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179   (Peter) Waldo, a business-man in Lyons, France, in about A.D. 1170 became intensely curious as to the content of the Scriptures. But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.
