It is no mere subjective instinct, ... no blind outreach. If it met no response, no answer, it would soon be weeded out of the race. Prayer has stood the test of experience. In fact, the very desire to pray is in itself prophetic of a heavenly Friend. So this native need of the soul rose out of the divine origin of the soul, and it has steadily verified itself as a safe guide to reality. In the first instance it is not asking for anything, it is not petition; all it seeks is God Himself: Let me find Thee, let me know Thee, then I will ask of Thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a destiny that makes us brothers: None goes his way alone: All that we send into the lives ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4943]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a destiny that makes us brothers: None goes his way alone: All that we send into the lives of others Comes back onto our own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326  We cannot understand the depth of the Christian doctrine of sin if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326  We cannot understand the depth of the Christian doctrine of sin if we give it only a moral connotation. To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[women should be treated just like men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38232]]></link><description><![CDATA[women should be treated just like men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45933]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to greater dignity as a human being-we can do it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody answered the phone anyway.
