Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let who will boast their courage in the field, I find but little safety from my shield,  Nature's, not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let who will boast their courage in the field, I find but little safety from my shield,  Nature's, not honour's law we must obey:   This made me cast my useless shield away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53555]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opposition may become sweet to a man when he has christened it persecution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45141]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opposition may become sweet to a man when he has christened it persecution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though this may be play to you, 'Tis death to us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though this may be play to you, 'Tis death to us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47905]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hark! that's the nightingale, Telling the self-same tale  Her song told when this ancient earth was young:   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hark! that's the nightingale, Telling the self-same tale  Her song told when this ancient earth was young:   So echoes answered when her song was sung    In the first wooded vale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as the facility, they have more grass at Bowie because we're land-locked over here.
