It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...  Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, I don't understand my husband's theory of relativity, but I know my husband, and I know he can be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20187]]></link><description><![CDATA[No, I don't understand my husband's theory of relativity, but I know my husband, and I know he can be trusted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  The Day of Jesus Christ is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  The Day of Jesus Christ is the Day of all days; the brilliant and visible light of this one point is the hidden invisible light of all points; to perceive the righteousness of God once and for all here is the hope of righteousness (Gal. 5:5) everywhere and at all times.

Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers. It seems to me that if we keep that in mind we'll be well served.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I strike the stars with by sublime head. [Lat., Sublimi feriam sidera vertice.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2325]]></link><description><![CDATA[I strike the stars with by sublime head. [Lat., Sublimi feriam sidera vertice.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13764]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness -- great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness -- great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modest and shy as a nun is she; One weak chirp is her only note;  Braggarts and prince of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modest and shy as a nun is she; One weak chirp is her only note;  Braggarts and prince of braggarts is he,   Pouring boasts from his little throat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62947]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's more of a question of timing.

When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd say probably 50 percent of our customers coming in are looking for a TV for the Super Bowl. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28805]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd say probably 50 percent of our customers coming in are looking for a TV for the Super Bowl.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Veracity is the heart of morality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Veracity is the heart of morality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is just another confirmation that redistricting brought about fair representation for the people of Texas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32417]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is just another confirmation that redistricting brought about fair representation for the people of Texas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24817]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I take as my guide the hope of a saint: in crucial things, unity. . . in important things, diversity. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12595]]></link><description><![CDATA[I take as my guide the hope of a saint: in crucial things, unity. . . in important things, diversity. . . in all things, generosity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think being funny is not anyone's first choice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55120]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think being funny is not anyone's first choice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58422]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fine by defect, and delicately weak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fine by defect, and delicately weak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sacred Dove a quill did lend From her high-soaring wing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46022]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sacred Dove a quill did lend From her high-soaring wing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remembrances embellish life but forgetfulness alone makes it possible. [Fr., Les souvenirs embellissent la vie, l'oubli seul la rend possible.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remembrances embellish life but forgetfulness alone makes it possible. [Fr., Les souvenirs embellissent la vie, l'oubli seul la rend possible.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider then, O man! whether there can be anything more wretched and poor, more naked and miserable, than man when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider then, O man! whether there can be anything more wretched and poor, more naked and miserable, than man when he dies, if he be not clothed with Christ's righteousness, and enriched in his God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had a birthday one night on a farm we were shooting on.

Take the "obvious things" about Christ as listed by a contemporary minister:  He was a popular and controversial preacher; He gathered a group of followers; He spent most of his time with the disinherited; He taught with authority; He never married; He never (so far as we know) held a job; He did not participate in public affairs; He did not have income, property, or an address; He was in bitter and frequent conflict with the religious and political authorities; He seemed to expect that the world would be eminently, radically, and supernaturally transformed; He attacked the traditions and values of his own people; He practically forced the authorities to prosecute and execute him. There is nothing exclusively religious, much less Christian, in this description, which, with a few exceptions, might apply also to Socrates or to "Che" Guevara. I asked many socially oriented ministers why they were Christians at all. Some said through faith, and some said that Christianity gave them courage and the motivation to endure (but so do other beliefs). Some said they hardly knew and that, if another, more acceptable, ideology came along, they would embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is engendered in the eyes; By gazing fed; and fancy dies  In the cradle where it lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51411]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is engendered in the eyes; By gazing fed; and fancy dies  In the cradle where it lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a major accomplishment for me and I'll take it in stride.
