When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm very pleased.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If that child is a message in a bottle, ... it has just washed up on shore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30811]]></link><description><![CDATA[If that child is a message in a bottle, ... it has just washed up on shore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are going to continue to drink.
