But this kind of praying, which takes all its thoughts and words only from the state of our hearts, makes it impossible for us to be strangers to ourselves. The strength of every sin, the power of every evil temper, the most secret workings of our hearts, the weakness of any or all our virtues, is with a noonday clearness forced to be seen, as soon as the heart is made our prayer book, and we pray nothing, but according to what we read, and find there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you can't believe your eyes, you can always trust your heart.

Among the adulatory formulas with which the emperor was acclaimed, Prof. Ethelbert Stauffer mentions, as going back to the first century, "Hail, Victory, Lord of the earth, Invincible, Power, Glory, Honour, Peace, Security, Holy, Blessed, Unequalled, Great, Thou alone worthy art, Worthy is he to inherit the Kingdom, Come, come, do not delay, Come again" (p. 155) [in Christ and the Caesars]. Indeed, one has only to read Psalm lxxii, in Latin, in the official language of the empire, to see that it is largely the same formal language which is used alike in the Forum for the advent of the emperor, and in the catacombs for the celebration of the "Epiphany of Christ" (p. 251). Who was worthy to ascend the throne of the universe and direct the course of history? Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming into the game, we had everything laid out on offense.

He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20945]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you're caught in the mousetrap, why not eat the cheese? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you're caught in the mousetrap, why not eat the cheese?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberals seem to assume that, if you don't believe in their particular political solutions, then you don't really care about ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberals seem to assume that, if you don't believe in their particular political solutions, then you don't really care about the people that they claim to want to help]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24658</guid></item></channel></rss>
