It is the only power in the world that seems to overcome the so-called "laws of nature"; the occasions on which prayer has dramatically done this have been termed "miracles". But a constant, quieter miracle takes place hourly in the hearts of men and women who have discovered that prayer supplies them with a steady flow of sustaining power in their daily lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A chip on the shoulder is too heavy a piece of baggage to carry through life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53935]]></link><description><![CDATA[A chip on the shoulder is too heavy a piece of baggage to carry through life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I warrant you lay abed till the cows came home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10531]]></link><description><![CDATA[I warrant you lay abed till the cows came home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History, as it lies at the root of all science, is also the first distinct product of man's spiritual nature; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19320]]></link><description><![CDATA[History, as it lies at the root of all science, is also the first distinct product of man's spiritual nature; his earliest expression of what can be called Thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I demand for the black man is, that the white people shall take their heels off his neck, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52892]]></link><description><![CDATA[All I demand for the black man is, that the white people shall take their heels off his neck, and let him have a chance to rise by his own efforts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Peter & Paul, Apostles  No man can be without his god.

If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Additionally, we are seeing wholesale prices for natural gas to drop and expect approximately an 11 percent decrease in February. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Additionally, we are seeing wholesale prices for natural gas to drop and expect approximately an 11 percent decrease in February.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44319]]></link><description><![CDATA[My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
