Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray!

And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it is time for those who talk about family values to start valuing families. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15190]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it is time for those who talk about family values to start valuing families.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say what you will, ’tis better to be left than never to have been loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Say what you will, ’tis better to be left than never to have been loved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never, ever underestimate the power of 'Id Like that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never, ever underestimate the power of 'Id Like that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fanaticism obliterates the feelings of humanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15271]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fanaticism obliterates the feelings of humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unix is the answer, but only if you phrase the question very carefully.
