The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have good home cooking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40760]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have good home cooking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All pitchers are born pitchers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63366]]></link><description><![CDATA[All pitchers are born pitchers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   Every wise workman takes his tools away from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   Every wise workman takes his tools away from the work from time to time that they may be ground and sharpened; so does the only-wise Jehovah take his ministers oftentimes away into darkness and loneliness and trouble, that he may sharpen and prepare them for harder work in his service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prudent question is one-half of wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46535]]></link><description><![CDATA[A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My early and invincible love of reading, . . .
