But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stern Daughter of the Voice of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stern Daughter of the Voice of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But mine, and mine I loved, and mine I praised, And mine that I was proud on--mine so much  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18479]]></link><description><![CDATA[But mine, and mine I loved, and mine I praised, And mine that I was proud on--mine so much  That I myself was to myself not mine,   Valuing of her--why she, O, she is fall'n    Into a pit of ink, that the wide sea     Hath drops too few to wash her clean again,      And salt too little which may season give       To her foul tainted flesh!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53481]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus when I shun Scylla, your father, I fall into Charybdis, your mother. -The Merchant of Venice.

It was the God, in fact, whom the whole of the life of Jesus set forth, to the astonishment of those among whom He moved. Loving still, He brought God to men in the same unmistakable way. The divine love that through Jesus had found the public an Zacchaeus had now through the risen Christ found Paul the Pharisee. Hence forward the central facts of life for Paul were that while he was yet a sinner God had found and forgiven him, and that this was the work of Jesus Christ, in whose love the love of God had become plain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[BA is strategically focusing on profitable traffic, and that means it's turning away a lot of people who are prepared ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31732]]></link><description><![CDATA[BA is strategically focusing on profitable traffic, and that means it's turning away a lot of people who are prepared to pay a decent fare to transfer,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dignity is a mask we wear to hide our ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dignity is a mask we wear to hide our ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis rushing now adown the spout, And gushing out below,  Half frantic in its joyousness,   And wild ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61305]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis rushing now adown the spout, And gushing out below,  Half frantic in its joyousness,   And wild in eager flow.    The earth is dried and parched with heat,     And it hath long'd to be      Released from out the selfish cloud,       To cool the thirsty tree.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a generation of young people who have grown up with recycling, and now they can't throw a can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42005]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a generation of young people who have grown up with recycling, and now they can't throw a can away.

The first is its compromised, deficient understanding of revelation. Without Biblical historicity and veracity behind the Word of God, theology can only grow closer to Hinduism. Second, the modern Christian is drastically weak in an unmediated, persona. experiential knowledge of God. Often, what passes for religious experience is a communal emotion felt in church services, in meetings, in singing or contrived fellowship. Few Christians would know God on their own. Third, the modern church is often pathetically feeble in the expression of its focal principle of community. It has become an adult social club, preaching shop, or minister-dominated group. With these weaknesses, modern Christianity cannot hope to understand why people have turned to the East, let alone stand against the trend and offer an alternative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a communion with God that asks for nothing, yet asks for everything...
