Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.

The suffering God is no vast cosmic force,  That by some blind, unthinking, loveless power  Keeps stars and atoms swinging in their course,  And reckons naught of men in this grim hour.  Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here the free spirit of mankind, at length, Throws its last fetters off; and who shall place  A limit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16665]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here the free spirit of mankind, at length, Throws its last fetters off; and who shall place  A limit to the giant's unchained strength,   Or curb his swiftness in the forward race?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who reigns within himself, and rules Passions, desires, and fears, is more a king. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who reigns within himself, and rules Passions, desires, and fears, is more a king.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I simple cannot understand the passion that some people have for making themselves thoroughly uncomfortable and then boasting about it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45626]]></link><description><![CDATA[I simple cannot understand the passion that some people have for making themselves thoroughly uncomfortable and then boasting about it afterwards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm Chevy Chase and you're not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5288]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm Chevy Chase and you're not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She shut us down, then Lauren Atwood got a rocket single off of her to start the third and it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39833]]></link><description><![CDATA[She shut us down, then Lauren Atwood got a rocket single off of her to start the third and it showed everyone that we could hit off of her.
