Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace... [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our systems, perhaps, are nothing more than an unconscious apology for our faults --a gigantic scaffolding whose object is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our systems, perhaps, are nothing more than an unconscious apology for our faults --a gigantic scaffolding whose object is to hide from us our favorite sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He seems very happy and content with himself at the moment, and you're seeing that getting delivered on the field. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35969]]></link><description><![CDATA[He seems very happy and content with himself at the moment, and you're seeing that getting delivered on the field.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How fallen, how changed From him, who, in the happy realms of light,  Clothed with transcendent brightness, didst outshine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50653]]></link><description><![CDATA[How fallen, how changed From him, who, in the happy realms of light,  Clothed with transcendent brightness, didst outshine   Myriads, though bright.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament.  They are but beggars ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament.  They are but beggars that can count their worth;   But my true love is grown to such excess    I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under conditions of tyranny it is far easier to act than to think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under conditions of tyranny it is far easier to act than to think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sudden friendship, sure repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sudden friendship, sure repentance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's completely irrelevant whether something is good or bad or valuable or worthless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41394]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's completely irrelevant whether something is good or bad or valuable or worthless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29470]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output.
