For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty; the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty; the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't try to force chemistry between two people or else it may just blow up at you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't try to force chemistry between two people or else it may just blow up at you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moving moon went up to the sky, And nowhere did abide;  Softly she was going up,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43069]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moving moon went up to the sky, And nowhere did abide;  Softly she was going up,   And a star or two beside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9008]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14272]]></link><description><![CDATA[The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order: the continuous thread of revelation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Berowne they call him; but a merrier man, Within the limit of becoming mirth,  I never spent an hour's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Berowne they call him; but a merrier man, Within the limit of becoming mirth,  I never spent an hour's talk withal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For enemies carry about slander not in the form in which it took its rise. . . .

O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable,   In whom all joys are found:  When once you visit darkened hearts   Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs,   Then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more! Oh, may our tongues forever bless,   May we love you alone  And ever in our lives express   The image of your own!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was the noise Of ancient trees falling while all was still  Before the storm, in the long interval ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59686]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was the noise Of ancient trees falling while all was still  Before the storm, in the long interval   Between the gathering clouds and that light breeze    Which Germans call the Wind's bride.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20738]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should listen first and foremost to our own experience...We should stop looking for saviors...
