It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have reached zero tolerance for the cruelty against our animal brothers.

There is no process by which to reach an ideal. There are no tests by which to verify it. It is therefore impossible to frame a proposition about an ideal which can be proved or disproved. It follows that the use of ideals is to be strictly limited to proper cases, and that the attempt to use ideals in social discussion does not deserve serious consideration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our guards are really stepping up.

It was the sight of Thy dear cross First weaned my soul from earthly things; And taught me to esteem as dross The mirth of fools, and pomp of kings. I want that grace that springs from Thee, That quickens all things where it flows; And makes a wretched thorn like me Bloom as the myrtle or the rose. Dear fountain of delight unknown! No longer sink beneath the brim, But overflow, and pour me down A living and life-giving stream!
