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.

Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? It is just the opposite: it is to make its burden light. Attached to the oxen in any other way than by a yoke, the plow would be intolerable; worked by means of a yoke, it is light. A yoke is not an instrument of torture; it is an instrument of mercy. It is not a malicious contrivance for making work hard; it is a gentle device to make hard labor light. [Christ] knew the difference between a smooth yoke and a rough one, a bad fit and a good one... The rough yoke galled, and the burden was heavy; the smooth yoke caused no pain, and the load was lightly drawn. The badly fitted harness was a misery; the well fitted collar was "easy". And what was the "burden"? It was not some special burden laid upon the Christian, some unique infliction that they alone must bear. It was what all men bear: it was simply life, human life itself, the general burden of life which all must carry with them from the cradle to the grave. Christ saw that men took life painfully. To some it was a weariness, to others failure, to many a tragedy, to all a struggle and a pain. How to carry this burden of life had been the whole world's problem. And here is Christ's solution: "Carry it as I do. Take life as I take it. Look at it from my point of view. Interpret it upon my principles. Take my yoke and learn of me, and you will find it easy. For my yoke is easy, sits right upon the shoulders, and therefore my burden is light.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63809]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain.

When he returned home after a good day's sport, he always gave the Housedog a large share of his spoil. The Hound, feeling much aggrieved at this, reproached his companion, saying, It is very hard to have all this labor, while you, who do not assist in the chase, luxuriate on the fruits of my exertions. The Housedog replied, Do not blame me, my friend, but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others. Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A frequent intercession with God, earnestly beseeching Him to forgive the sins of all mankind, to bless them with His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7442]]></link><description><![CDATA[A frequent intercession with God, earnestly beseeching Him to forgive the sins of all mankind, to bless them with His providence, enlighten them with His Spirit, and bring them to everlasting happiness, is the divinest exercise that the heart of man can be engaged in. Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think they're all highly qualified candidates, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40444]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think they're all highly qualified candidates,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Convey a libel in a frown. And wink a reputation down! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Convey a libel in a frown. And wink a reputation down!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We changed (defenses) and when we get out of pressure we look terrible, but I thought we did a good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38604]]></link><description><![CDATA[We changed (defenses) and when we get out of pressure we look terrible, but I thought we did a good job against a pretty good team in terms of scrambling.

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never was on the dull, tame shore, But I loved the great sea more and more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44885]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never was on the dull, tame shore, But I loved the great sea more and more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In common things the law of sacrifice takes the form of positive duty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13054]]></link><description><![CDATA[In common things the law of sacrifice takes the form of positive duty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a new experience for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36701]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a new experience for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You really have to experience the feeling of being with the president in the oval office. . . .
