Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66863]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find we are growing serious, and then we are in great danger of being dull. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58067]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find we are growing serious, and then we are in great danger of being dull.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bush, you must confess that you have been defeated in Iraq and in Afghanistan and you will be in Palestine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bush, you must confess that you have been defeated in Iraq and in Afghanistan and you will be in Palestine soon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One hour of thoughtful solitude may nerve the heart for days of conflict - girding up its armor to meet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59238]]></link><description><![CDATA[One hour of thoughtful solitude may nerve the heart for days of conflict - girding up its armor to meet the most insidious foe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On any given day, the market is taking its cue from forecasts and results.

Abraham Lincoln  There is no little enemy. •Benjamin Franklin  The friend of my enemy is my enemy. •Anonymous   With friends like this, who needs enemies? •Henny Youngman   It is impossible for one person to know another so well that he can dispense with belief. •Friedrich Durrenmatt   The quarrels of friends are the opportunities of foes. •Aesop   The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy. •Sam Levenson  It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. •William Blake  He hasn't an enemy in the world - but all his friends hate him. •Eddie Cantor  You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. •Eric Hoffer  I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business. •Bette Davis  It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head. •Sally Kempton  We learn our virtues from our friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection. •Ricther  Mankind's worst enemy is fear of work. •Anonymous  Enemies promises were made to be broken. •Aesop   The worst tyrants are those which establish themselves in our own breasts. •William Ellery Channing   You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends. •Joseph Conrad   Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards. •R A Dickson   I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people. •Benjamin Franklin   A wise man learns more from his enemies than a fool from his friends. •Baltasar Gracian   I have no trouble with my enemies.

Nay, who but infants question in such wise, 'twas one of my most intimate enemies. •Dante Gabriel Rossetti   Remember, to them it is us who are the enemy. •N. F. Simpson   Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong. To win a bloodless battle, the victory is long. A simple act of faith, reason over might. To blow up his children would only prove him right. •Gordon Sumner   One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good. •Jonathan Swift   In my life, I have prayed but one prayer: oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.
