Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rashness brings success to few, misfortune to many. [Lat., Paucis temeritas est bono, multis malo.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rashness brings success to few, misfortune to many. [Lat., Paucis temeritas est bono, multis malo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Should we grieve over a little misplaced charity, when an all knowing, all wise Being showers down every day his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Should we grieve over a little misplaced charity, when an all knowing, all wise Being showers down every day his benefits on the unthankful and undeserving?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn't affected by inflation -- I had nothing to inflate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20838]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wasn't affected by inflation -- I had nothing to inflate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, man, defy the devil?
