But depend upon it, they do not by adding these words, or any words, bring it about that their prayers should be in the name of Christ. To pray in the name of Christ means to pray in such a way as represents Christ. The representative always must speak in the spirit and meaning of those for whom he speaks. If Christ is our representative, that must be because He speaks our wishes, or what we ought to make our wishes; and if we are to pray in the name of Christ, that means that we are, however far off, expressing His wishes and intentions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24150]]></link><description><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not a perfect landscape, but the areas we can apply ourselves, which is now really limited to containers, we're ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33756]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not a perfect landscape, but the areas we can apply ourselves, which is now really limited to containers, we're doing it and I think we're doing it in an efficient fashion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are worthy of its affection, a cat will be your friend but never your slave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5334]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are worthy of its affection, a cat will be your friend but never your slave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first; Be not discouraged-- keep on-- there are divine things, well envelop'd; I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56301]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first; Be not discouraged-- keep on-- there are divine things, well envelop'd; I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw a flie within a beade Of amber cleanly buried. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16225]]></link><description><![CDATA[I saw a flie within a beade Of amber cleanly buried.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it's a woman, its caustic; if it's a man, it's authoritative. -Barbara Walters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27223]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it's a woman, its caustic; if it's a man, it's authoritative. -Barbara Walters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where God has his church the Devil will have his chapel ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where God has his church the Devil will have his chapel]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is rich who owes nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18695]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is rich who owes nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accommodated; that is, when a man is, as they say, accommodated; or when a man is, being, whereby a' may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accommodated; that is, when a man is, as they say, accommodated; or when a man is, being, whereby a' may be thought to be accommodated,—which is an excellent thing. -King Henry IV.
