My deeds are all Thine own drawn close to Thee.

Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wolfe will never make war against another wolfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49088]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wolfe will never make war against another wolfe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye tuneful cobblers! still your notes prolong, Compose at once a slipper and a song;  So shall the fair ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye tuneful cobblers! still your notes prolong, Compose at once a slipper and a song;  So shall the fair your handiwork peruse,   Your sonnets sure shall please--perhaps your shoes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great Spirit, help me never to judge another until I have walked in his moccasins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great Spirit, help me never to judge another until I have walked in his moccasins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called "Huckleberry Finn." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25256]]></link><description><![CDATA[All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called "Huckleberry Finn."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, painting is a way to forget life.

When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped.
