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[Stronger than an army is a quotation whose time has come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stronger than an army is a quotation whose time has come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53104]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every fairly intelligent person is aware that the price of respectability is a muffled soul bent on the trivial and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every fairly intelligent person is aware that the price of respectability is a muffled soul bent on the trivial and the mediocre.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Circumstance - which moves by laws of its own, regardless of parties and policies, and whose decrees are final and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Circumstance - which moves by laws of its own, regardless of parties and policies, and whose decrees are final and must be obeyed by all - and will be]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You take a triple crown guy off your team, you're going to feel the effects.

Thirdly, remember that Christ made not this atonement that thou shouldest anger God again; neither cleansed he thee, that thou shouldest return (as a swine) unto thine old puddle again: but that thou shouldest be a new creature and live a new life after the will of God and not of the flesh.
