Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the school sends out children with a desire for knowledge and some idea of how to acquire and use ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54770]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the school sends out children with a desire for knowledge and some idea of how to acquire and use it, it will have done its work]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sentiment is the ripened fruit of fantasy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sentiment is the ripened fruit of fantasy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action.

In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63375]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idealists...foolish enough to throw caution to the winds...have advanced mankind and have enriched the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idealists...foolish enough to throw caution to the winds...have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only when we forget out learning that we begin to know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24580]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only when we forget out learning that we begin to know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the least possible expenditure of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To learn what is good, a thousand days are not sufficient;

If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that accumulation of negative stuff really sunk into the minds of people.
