A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities. [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diversity, that is my motto. [Fr., Diversite, c'est ma devise.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diversity, that is my motto. [Fr., Diversite, c'est ma devise.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21696]]></link><description><![CDATA[The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A play is fiction-and fiction is fact distilled into truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34298]]></link><description><![CDATA[A play is fiction-and fiction is fact distilled into truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power won by crime no one ever yet turned to a good purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power won by crime no one ever yet turned to a good purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bank failures are caused by depositors who don't deposit enough money to cover losses due to mismanagement ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bank failures are caused by depositors who don't deposit enough money to cover losses due to mismanagement]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea is to make the chambers speak to the governments to implement these proposals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42605]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea is to make the chambers speak to the governments to implement these proposals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We talked about having more energy and we started off fast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29049]]></link><description><![CDATA[We talked about having more energy and we started off fast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have other fish to fry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16063]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have other fish to fry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vice is such a hideous creature, that the more you see of it the better you like it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vice is such a hideous creature, that the more you see of it the better you like it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64289]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never been able to play defense in my life.

Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A world community can exist only with world communication, which means something more than extensive shortwave facilities scattered about the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9075]]></link><description><![CDATA[A world community can exist only with world communication, which means something more than extensive shortwave facilities scattered about the globe.
