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[Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I rise long before day and work till nightfall, when I take a walk and go to bed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38836]]></link><description><![CDATA[I rise long before day and work till nightfall, when I take a walk and go to bed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to block everything out and be extremely focused and be relaxed and mellow too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16300]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to block everything out and be extremely focused and be relaxed and mellow too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are digging our graves with our teeth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22100]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are digging our graves with our teeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Monica: I got a leg, three breasts, and a wing.
