It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm actually a perpetual 13-year-old.

But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Citties are taken by the eares. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Citties are taken by the eares.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28290]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[President means chief servant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48155]]></link><description><![CDATA[President means chief servant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is what leadership is all about: staking your ground ahead of where opinion is and convincing people, not simply ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66580]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is what leadership is all about: staking your ground ahead of where opinion is and convincing people, not simply following the popular opinion of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are unhappy, is there anything more maddening than to be told that you should be contented with your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60086]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are unhappy, is there anything more maddening than to be told that you should be contented with your lot?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You won't believe this but we've actually had people coming in wanting to buy all of our old equipment.
