It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever did this must have known what they were doing, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever did this must have known what they were doing,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the world loves a good loser. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65237]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the world loves a good loser.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At a time when eligibility and services are being reduced in order to save money, an expansion of services for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38940]]></link><description><![CDATA[At a time when eligibility and services are being reduced in order to save money, an expansion of services for people who aren't eligible for the program is not under consideration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human body is a machine which winds its own springs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4442]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human body is a machine which winds its own springs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The road winds up the hill to meet the height; Beyond the locust hedge it curves from sight -- And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22561]]></link><description><![CDATA[The road winds up the hill to meet the height; Beyond the locust hedge it curves from sight -- And yet no man would foolishly contend.

Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved only at the price of total detachment, which excludes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18317]]></link><description><![CDATA[To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved only at the price of total detachment, which excludes the ability to experience happiness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your goal should be out of reach but not out of sight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your goal should be out of reach but not out of sight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet still there whispers the small voice within, Heard through Gain's silence, and o'er Glory's din;  Whatever creed be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet still there whispers the small voice within, Heard through Gain's silence, and o'er Glory's din;  Whatever creed be taught or land be trod,   Man's conscience is the oracle of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our life is frittered away by detail.

O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more!
