If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praise day at night, and life at the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praise day at night, and life at the end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, son, many a good story has been ruined by over-verification. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, son, many a good story has been ruined by over-verification.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . .

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.

We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Al-Ki [Indian word meaning "by and by"] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43271]]></link><description><![CDATA[Al-Ki [Indian word meaning "by and by"]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He comes, the herald of a noisy world, With spatter'd boots, strapp'd waist, and frozen locks;  News from all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23339]]></link><description><![CDATA[He comes, the herald of a noisy world, With spatter'd boots, strapp'd waist, and frozen locks;  News from all nations lumbering at his back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is much light, the shadows are deepest. [Ger., Wo viel Licht is, ist starker Schatten.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is much light, the shadows are deepest. [Ger., Wo viel Licht is, ist starker Schatten.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People can be divided into two classes: those who go ahead and do something, and those who sit still and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19965]]></link><description><![CDATA[People can be divided into two classes: those who go ahead and do something, and those who sit still and inquire, why wasn't it done the other way?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action.
