For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is realizing that nothing is too important. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is realizing that nothing is too important.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every bonus point counts when you are trying to win it all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every bonus point counts when you are trying to win it all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3470]]></link><description><![CDATA[In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers.

A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not a member of any organized party--I am a Democrat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45595]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not a member of any organized party--I am a Democrat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes in our confusion, we see not the world as it is, but the world though eyes blurred by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1468]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes in our confusion, we see not the world as it is, but the world though eyes blurred by the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The defect of equality is that we only desire it with our superiors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14116]]></link><description><![CDATA[The defect of equality is that we only desire it with our superiors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43020]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have formed a legal defense team that includes prominent American, European, Asian and Arab lawyers who were chosen on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28222]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have formed a legal defense team that includes prominent American, European, Asian and Arab lawyers who were chosen on the basis of competence and merit to put up a strong defense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3278]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy of a cruel, self-inflicted fate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love to go to the schoolyard and watch the children jump and scream, but they don't know I'm using ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20075]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love to go to the schoolyard and watch the children jump and scream, but they don't know I'm using blanks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two great things you can give your children: one isroots, the other is wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two great things you can give your children: one isroots, the other is wings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there's been an Angela Merkel -factor, as well as something more subtle happening. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33156]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there's been an Angela Merkel -factor, as well as something more subtle happening.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business was his aversion;
