I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself?

It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fall of dropping water wears away the stone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46180]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fall of dropping water wears away the stone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Palsied eld. -Measure for Measure.
