And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons for the ease of my own intercessory prayers. One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him. And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin (short list of candidates for this post will be forwarded on demand). Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray against my own besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945   There remains for us only the very narrow way, often extremely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8612]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945   There remains for us only the very narrow way, often extremely difficult to find, of living every day as though it were our last, and yet living in faith and responsibility as though there were to be a great future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope" is the thing with feathers- that perches in the soul... -Emily Dickenson. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19817]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope" is the thing with feathers- that perches in the soul... -Emily Dickenson.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10300]]></link><description><![CDATA[A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always try to do something for the other fellow and you will be agreeably surprised how things come your way ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always try to do something for the other fellow and you will be agreeably surprised how things come your way -- how many pleasing things are done for you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1622]]></link><description><![CDATA[In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fewer words the better prayer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53713]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fewer words the better prayer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no chaste minds.

How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers not the enrichment of the leaders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16316]]></link><description><![CDATA[True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers not the enrichment of the leaders.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She had the loaded handbag of someone who camps out and seldom goes home, or who imagines life must be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5194]]></link><description><![CDATA[She had the loaded handbag of someone who camps out and seldom goes home, or who imagines life must be full of emergencies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.   - Charles ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20036]]></link><description><![CDATA[The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.   - Charles Hadden Spurgeon,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Building is a sweet impoverishing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Building is a sweet impoverishing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What will their masters not accomplish when low fellows are so presumptuous? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51839]]></link><description><![CDATA[What will their masters not accomplish when low fellows are so presumptuous?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wealth is in applications of mind to nature; and the art of getting rich consists not in industry, much less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wealth is in applications of mind to nature; and the art of getting rich consists not in industry, much less in saving, but in a better order, in timeliness, in being at the right spot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The deed is everything, the glory is naught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11661]]></link><description><![CDATA[The deed is everything, the glory is naught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look at every path closely and deliberately.
