But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No wonder if the Christians made an impression out of all proportion to their numbers.

Conviction in the midst of waverers, fiery energy in a world of disillusion, purity in an age of easy morals, firm brotherhood in a loose society, heroic courage in a time of persecution, formed a problem that could not be set aside, however polite society might affect to ignore it: and the religion of the future turned on the answer to it. Would the world be able to explain it better than the Christians, who said it was the living power of the risen Saviour?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production of an individual mind .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may seem absurd to some that all desires by which man is by nature affected are so completely condemned ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7828]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may seem absurd to some that all desires by which man is by nature affected are so completely condemned -- although they have been bestowed by God himself, the author of nature.

If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being taken for granted can be a compliment.
