Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. 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[I regret that I have but one life to give for my country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11260]]></link><description><![CDATA[I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is for people who can't face drugs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is for people who can't face drugs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't ask the barber whether you need a haircut. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't ask the barber whether you need a haircut.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My generation's apathy.

Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26408]]></link><description><![CDATA[I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The abstract metaphysical monotheism, the constant emphasis laid on God's unity and infinite and incomprehensible essence, could not give light ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7160]]></link><description><![CDATA[The abstract metaphysical monotheism, the constant emphasis laid on God's unity and infinite and incomprehensible essence, could not give light to the mind or peace to the heart...
