For when the heart really pants and longs after God, its prayer is a praying, as moved and animated by the Spirit of God; it is the breath or inspiration of God, stirring, moving and opening itself in the heart. For though the early nature, our old man, can oblige or accustom himself to take heavenly words at certain times into his mouth, yet this is a certain truth, that nothing ever did, or can have the least desire or tendency to ascend to heaven, but that which came down from heaven; and therefore nothing in the heart can pray, aspire, and long after God, but the Spirit of God moving and stirring in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He wrote a lot of prescriptions and he kept a lot for himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36919]]></link><description><![CDATA[He wrote a lot of prescriptions and he kept a lot for himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love fools experiments.

Yet I had no slight esteem of the Holy Scriptures; they were very precious to me, for I was in that spirit by which they were given forth; and what the Lord opened in me, I afterwards found was agreeable to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the hour when from the boughs The nightingale's high note is heard;  It is the hour when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14250]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the hour when from the boughs The nightingale's high note is heard;  It is the hour when lovers' vows   Seem sweet in every whispered word;    And gentle winds, and waters near,     Make music to the lonely ear.      Each flower the dews have lightly wet,       And in the sky the stars are met,        And on the wave is deeper blue,         And on the leaf a browner hue,          And in the heaven that clear obscure,           So softly dark, and darkly pure.            Which follows the decline of day,             As twilight melts beneath the moon away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good Judge conceives quickly, judges slowly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49029]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good Judge conceives quickly, judges slowly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Posterity is as likely to be wrong as anybody else ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Posterity is as likely to be wrong as anybody else]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  A great many of those about me would be imprisoned under ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  A great many of those about me would be imprisoned under any law; in France, as here, they would be regular jail-birds. But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be silent, and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56320]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be silent, and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19036]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have been pretty fortunate...we do quite a bit of training on driving and how you should be driving and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33776]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have been pretty fortunate...we do quite a bit of training on driving and how you should be driving and things like that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is insufficient temptation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is insufficient temptation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   Our wills are not ours to be crushed and broken; they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   Our wills are not ours to be crushed and broken; they are ours to be trained and strengthened. Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essay is a literary device for saying almost everything about almost anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25286]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essay is a literary device for saying almost everything about almost anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to enjoy every minute of your life.
