We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3172]]></link><description><![CDATA[A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And there is a worm in the lonely wood, That pierces the liver and blackens the blood,  And makes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51688]]></link><description><![CDATA[And there is a worm in the lonely wood, That pierces the liver and blackens the blood,  And makes it a sorrow to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory drags all men along, low as well as high, bound captive at the wheels of her glittering car. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glory drags all men along, low as well as high, bound captive at the wheels of her glittering car. [Lat., Fulgente trahit constrictos Gloria curru  Non minus ignotos generosis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the end, everything is a gag. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20059]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the end, everything is a gag.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wind which snuffs the candle fans the fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24575]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wind which snuffs the candle fans the fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are really very happy to have them come back year after year.
