I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who knows others is wise.He who knows himself is enlightened. - Tao Te Ching. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17216]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who knows others is wise.He who knows himself is enlightened. - Tao Te Ching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come what may, all bad fortune is to be conquered by endurance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come what may, all bad fortune is to be conquered by endurance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can only be young once.

Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have known sorrow--therefore I May laugh with you, O friend, more merrily  Than those who never sorrowed upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24174]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have known sorrow--therefore I May laugh with you, O friend, more merrily  Than those who never sorrowed upon earth   And know not laughter's worth.    I have known laughter--therefore I     May sorrow with you far more tenderly      Than those who never guess how sad a thing       Seems merriment to one heart's suffering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creativity is essentially a lonely art.

After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Future Shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Future Shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time. -Alvin Toffler.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now, they're hitting the ball a little better than I thought they would.
