We sadly undervalue prayer when we conceive it in these terms, just as we should underestimate rain by describing it as something that fills the birdbath in our garden. Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality -- the ultimate integration of man's highest faculties. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that that domain expertise will preclude the MCAD and [product data management] vendors form getting more involved in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40441]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that that domain expertise will preclude the MCAD and [product data management] vendors form getting more involved in this space, ...

Among the adulatory formulas with which the emperor was acclaimed, Prof. Ethelbert Stauffer mentions, as going back to the first century, "Hail, Victory, Lord of the earth, Invincible, Power, Glory, Honour, Peace, Security, Holy, Blessed, Unequalled, Great, Thou alone worthy art, Worthy is he to inherit the Kingdom, Come, come, do not delay, Come again" (p. 155) [in Christ and the Caesars]. Indeed, one has only to read Psalm lxxii, in Latin, in the official language of the empire, to see that it is largely the same formal language which is used alike in the Forum for the advent of the emperor, and in the catacombs for the celebration of the "Epiphany of Christ" (p. 251). Who was worthy to ascend the throne of the universe and direct the course of history? Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their lips were four red roses on a stalk. -King Richard III. Act iv.
