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[When you take stuff from one writer it's plagiarism; but when you take it from many writers, it's research. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9445]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you take stuff from one writer it's plagiarism; but when you take it from many writers, it's research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18243]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have asked the leaders to settle the issues fast and reach a compromise as it will permit the Iraqi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36216]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have asked the leaders to settle the issues fast and reach a compromise as it will permit the Iraqi parliament to complete the draft constitution in time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider the misfortunes of others, and you will be the better able to bear your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider the misfortunes of others, and you will be the better able to bear your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60237]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Thief and His MotherA boy stole a lesson-book from one of his schoolfellows and took it home to his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1588]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Thief and His MotherA boy stole a lesson-book from one of his schoolfellows and took it home to his Mother.

The Youth, advanced to adulthood, proceeded to steal things of still greater value. At last he was caught in the very act, and having his hands bound behind him, was led away to the place of public execution. His Mother followed in the crowd and violently beat her breast in sorrow, whereupon the young man said, I wish to say something to my Mother in her ear. She came close to him, and he quickly seized her ear with his teeth and bit it off.
