But this kind of praying, which takes all its thoughts and words only from the state of our hearts, makes it impossible for us to be strangers to ourselves. The strength of every sin, the power of every evil temper, the most secret workings of our hearts, the weakness of any or all our virtues, is with a noonday clearness forced to be seen, as soon as the heart is made our prayer book, and we pray nothing, but according to what we read, and find there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world, indeed, seems to be weary of the just, righteous, holy ways of God, and of that exactness in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world, indeed, seems to be weary of the just, righteous, holy ways of God, and of that exactness in walking according to His institutions and commands which it will be one day known that He doth require. But the way to put a stop to this declension is not by accommodating the commands of God to the corrupt courses and ways of men. The truths of God and the holiness of His precepts must be pleaded and defended, though the world dislike them here and perish hereafter. His law must not be made to lackey after the wills of men, nor be dissolved by vain interpretations, because they complain they cannot -- indeed, because they will not -- comply with it. Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them, and to supply men with spiritual strength to fulfill them also. It is evil to break the least commandment; but there is a great aggravation of that evil in them that shall teach men so to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise man to be able to sell it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise man to be able to sell it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the many-winter'd crow that leads the clanging rookery home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10775]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the many-winter'd crow that leads the clanging rookery home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess we took the illustrations to influential people so they could help.
