That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, "Thou art my refuge, because Thou art my home". Such a faith will not lead to presumption. The man who can pray such a prayer will know better than another that God is not mocked; that He is not a man that He should repent; that tears and entreaties will not work on Him to the breach of one of His laws; that for God to give a man, because he asked for it, that which was not in harmony with His laws of truth and right, would be to damn him -- to cast him into the outer darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a lot of seniors that have been playing together for four years.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lyric sound of laughter Fills all the April hills  The joy-song of the crocus,   The mirth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2990]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lyric sound of laughter Fills all the April hills  The joy-song of the crocus,   The mirth of daffodils.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved, just to love and be loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34246]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved, just to love and be loved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your damned nonsense can I stand twice or once, but sometimes always, by God, never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your damned nonsense can I stand twice or once, but sometimes always, by God, never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18028]]></link><description><![CDATA[All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It won't free up enormous amounts of capacity (on freeways) in the near term. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34594]]></link><description><![CDATA[It won't free up enormous amounts of capacity (on freeways) in the near term.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grand style arises in poetry, when a noble nature, treats with simplicity or with severity a serious subject ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42221]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grand style arises in poetry, when a noble nature, treats with simplicity or with severity a serious subject]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talent is a matter of quantity.
