The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall,  Atoms or systems ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall,  Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd,   And now a bubble burst, and now a world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mark now, how a plain tale shall put you down. -King Henry IV.

Where it is possible that fear should exist it is well that it should exist, cause continual uneasiness, and be cast out by nothing less than love.... Until love, which is the truth towards God, is able to cast out fear, it is well that fear should hold; it is a bond, however poor, between that which is and that which creates -- a bond that must be broken, but a bond that can be broken only by the tightening of an infinitely closer bond. Verily God must be terrible to those that are far from Him: for they fear He will do -- yea, is doing -- with them what they do not, cannot desire, and can ill endure... While they are such as they are, there is much in Him that cannot but affright them: they ought, they do well, to fear Him... To remove that fear from their hearts, save by letting them know His love with its purifying fire, a love which for ages, it may be, they cannot know, would be to give them up utterly to the power of evil. Persuade men that fear is a vile thing, that it is an insult to God, that He will have none of it -- while they are yet in love with their own will, and slaves to every movement of passionate impulse -- and what will the consequence be? That they will insult God as a discarded idol, a superstition, a falsehood, as a thing under whose evil influence they have too long groaned, a thing to be cast out and spit upon. After that, how much will they learn of Him?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is a gift of the universe -- even joy, anger, jealously, frustration, or separateness.

You may split it into different parts if you'd like - right now I'll put it as Unsorted. And He feels so incredibly weak when he has ferociously quarreled against them since his genuine years and has lost. His hopes for a better understanding dissipate as he grows older, and his mind grows less eager to reach a verdict. Having no sense of direction, he roams here, looking above, asking futile questions, even though the answers may be feared. Good by nature, he has learned his survival skills, which will lead him into the real world, and will someday make him a successful individual. Wishing the pressure did not exist, it is a natural instinct to adapt and not to recluse. He rather is a mindless drone than a lonely Hermit, after all. He has no control over his environment, it is the exact opposite. Molded and shaped by his surroundings, he seeks about for himself and his purpose, while this mold slowly deteriorates organic matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to live the rest of our lives there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62746]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to live the rest of our lives there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I really questioned whether I could in the beginning and now that I'm seeing results and have that support, it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32116]]></link><description><![CDATA[I really questioned whether I could in the beginning and now that I'm seeing results and have that support, it makes me feel that much better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16044]]></link><description><![CDATA[The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59086]]></link><description><![CDATA[For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity.
