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[But if you ride your bike a mile away, she is not gonna find you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40373]]></link><description><![CDATA[But if you ride your bike a mile away, she is not gonna find you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride is the master sin of the devil, and the devil is the father of lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45317]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride is the master sin of the devil, and the devil is the father of lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing impossible to him who will try. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63300]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing impossible to him who will try.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58823]]></link><description><![CDATA[If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63061]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now I wish I would have changed the decision in the second.

My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,  And live a coward in thine own esteem, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,  And live a coward in thine own esteem,   Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'    Like the poor cat i' th' adage?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doubt is the father of invention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doubt is the father of invention.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you look at a list of companies we serve . . . you start to get a feel for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36785]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you look at a list of companies we serve . . . you start to get a feel for what we are able to do in customizing our training to meet your needs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36785</guid></item></channel></rss>
