Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace...

We sadly undervalue prayer when we conceive it in these terms, just as we should underestimate rain by describing it as something that fills the birdbath in our garden. Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality -- the ultimate integration of man's highest faculties. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Should envious tongues some malice frame; to soil and tarnish your good name; Live it Down! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Should envious tongues some malice frame; to soil and tarnish your good name; Live it Down!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simplicity is the final achievement.

Not that we are bound to believe any thing against reason, that is, to believe, we know not why. It is but a slack opinion, it is not Belief, that is not grounded upon Reason. It is true, we have not a Demonstration; not such an Evidence as that one and two are three, to prove these to be Scriptures of God; God hath not proceeded in that manner, to drive our reason into a pound, and to force it by a peremptory necessity to accept these for Scriptures, for then, here had been no exercise of our Will, and our assent, if we could not have resisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5370]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better atthe top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21618]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better atthe top.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget what a man says to you when he is angry.
