This happy necessity of having recourse to Him in all our wants, instead of being grievous to us, should be our greatest consolation. What a happiness is it that we are allowed to speak to Him with confidence; to open our hearts and hold familiar conversation with him, by prayer! He Himself invites us to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's important that the community has its questions answered and its concerns addressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40428]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's important that the community has its questions answered and its concerns addressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Practice is the best of all instructors ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Practice is the best of all instructors]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This wide and generous spirit of love, not the religious egotist's longing to get away from the world to God, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7702]]></link><description><![CDATA[This wide and generous spirit of love, not the religious egotist's longing to get away from the world to God, is the fruit of true self-oblation; for a soul totally possessed by God is a soul totally possessed by Charity. By the path of self-offering, the Church and the soul have come up to the frontiers of the Holy. There we are required, not to cast the world from us, but to do our best for all others as well as ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am really proud of the kids.

They become responsive to grandiose schemes, and will display unequaled steadfastness, formidable energies and a special fitness in the performance of tasks which would stump superior people. It seems paradoxical that defeat in dealing with the possible should embolden people to attempt the impossible, but a familiarity with the mentality of the weak reveals that what seems a path of daring is actually an easy way out: It is to escape the responsibility for failure that the weak so eagerly throw themselves into grandiose undertakings. For when we fail in attaining the impossible we are justified in attributing it to the magnitude of the task.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45655]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment.

The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Other people's success spurs me on to do well and gives me motivation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Other people's success spurs me on to do well and gives me motivation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart was made to be broken ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58188]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart was made to be broken]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066  If every call to Christ and His righteousness is a call to suffering, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066  If every call to Christ and His righteousness is a call to suffering, the converse is equally -- every call to suffering is a call to Christ, a promotion, an invitation to come up higher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And trying to get to sleep earlier to avoid the morning "zombie effect" is pointless, he said: "The biological clock ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62679]]></link><description><![CDATA[And trying to get to sleep earlier to avoid the morning "zombie effect" is pointless, he said: "The biological clock is extremely accurate and not easily changed.
