I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Death! O Change!

With the exception of the book of Daniel, which the Jews themselves never classed among the prophecies, and an obscure text of Jeremiah, there is not a passage in all the Old Testament which favours the notion of a temporal Messiah. What moral object was there, for which such a Messiah should come? What could he have been but a sort of virtuous Napoleon?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O thrush, your song is passing sweet, But never a song that you have sung  Is half so sweet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59252]]></link><description><![CDATA[O thrush, your song is passing sweet, But never a song that you have sung  Is half so sweet as thrushes sang   When my dear love and I were young.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The end never really justifies the meanness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43128]]></link><description><![CDATA[The end never really justifies the meanness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We like to be deceived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11550]]></link><description><![CDATA[We like to be deceived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My cake is dough, but I'll in among the rest, Out of hope of all but my share of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13275]]></link><description><![CDATA[My cake is dough, but I'll in among the rest, Out of hope of all but my share of the feast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No adulation; 'tis the death of virtue; Who flatters, is of all mankind the lowest  Save he who courts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16164]]></link><description><![CDATA[No adulation; 'tis the death of virtue; Who flatters, is of all mankind the lowest  Save he who courts the flattery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The center of the stage is where I am. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59039]]></link><description><![CDATA[The center of the stage is where I am.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball is a game of race, creed, and color.
