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[This, this is misery! the last, the worst, That man can feel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42760]]></link><description><![CDATA[This, this is misery! the last, the worst, That man can feel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men and animals.
