Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am trying to do two things: dare to be a radical and not a fool, which is a matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52926]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am trying to do two things: dare to be a radical and not a fool, which is a matter of no small difficulty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a continuum of values between the churches and the general community.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64160]]></link><description><![CDATA[Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3413]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue must be valuable, if men and women of all degrees pretend to have it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue must be valuable, if men and women of all degrees pretend to have it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Short boughs, long vintage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Short boughs, long vintage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men give advice; God gives guidance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18452]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men give advice; God gives guidance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The further you go in hockey the better the chance of getting your heart ripped out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32771]]></link><description><![CDATA[The further you go in hockey the better the chance of getting your heart ripped out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To him that watches, everything is revealed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44791]]></link><description><![CDATA[To him that watches, everything is revealed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discouragement is the opposite of courage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discouragement is the opposite of courage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
