So begins a communion, a talking with God, a coming-to-one with Him, which is the sole end of prayer, yea, of existence itself in its infinite phases. We must ask that we may receive; but that we should receive what we ask in respect of our lower needs, is not God's end in making us pray, for He could give us everything without that: to bring His child to His knee, God withholds that man may ask.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest. [Ger., Die Menschen gehen wie Schiesskugeln weiter, wenn sie abgeglattet sind.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest. [Ger., Die Menschen gehen wie Schiesskugeln weiter, wenn sie abgeglattet sind.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My skull, my eyes, my nose three times, my jaw, my shoulder, my chest, two fingers, a knee, everything from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4461]]></link><description><![CDATA[My skull, my eyes, my nose three times, my jaw, my shoulder, my chest, two fingers, a knee, everything from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet.
