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[Baseball is the only sport I know that when you are on offense the other team controls the ball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Baseball is the only sport I know that when you are on offense the other team controls the ball.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm going to send you by fax a list of ingredients.
