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[So long as he wears the name tags. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34600]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as he wears the name tags.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/289]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's the good of it? for whose advantage? [Lat., Cui bono?] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17850]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's the good of it? for whose advantage? [Lat., Cui bono?]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is geared completely to college students.

This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to walk than curse the road. - Wolof proverb, Senegal ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28497]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to walk than curse the road. - Wolof proverb, Senegal]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ku Klux Klan into Harlem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ku Klux Klan into Harlem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History teaches us that whenever a weak and ignorant people possess a thing which a strong and enlightened people want, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19457]]></link><description><![CDATA[History teaches us that whenever a weak and ignorant people possess a thing which a strong and enlightened people want, it must be yielded up peaceably.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes we know the answers to our questions yet we still ask.
