The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Invite the rook who high amid the boughs, In early spring, his airy city builds,  And ceaseless caws amusive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Invite the rook who high amid the boughs, In early spring, his airy city builds,  And ceaseless caws amusive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47533]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh!
