I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often a seeing a friend in pain outweighs our own pain ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often a seeing a friend in pain outweighs our own pain]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a sheep of Beery, it is marked on the nose (applyed to those that have a blow). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49560]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a sheep of Beery, it is marked on the nose (applyed to those that have a blow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No conclusion has been reached ... there's still no word what caused this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33812]]></link><description><![CDATA[No conclusion has been reached ... there's still no word what caused this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We never deceive for a good purpose: knavery adds malice to falsehood. [Fr., On ne trompe point en bien; la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11532]]></link><description><![CDATA[We never deceive for a good purpose: knavery adds malice to falsehood. [Fr., On ne trompe point en bien; la fourberie ajoute la malice au mensonge.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . glory built On selfish principles is shame and guilt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17543]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . glory built On selfish principles is shame and guilt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that's liberal To all alike, may do a good by chance,  But never out of judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24661]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that's liberal To all alike, may do a good by chance,  But never out of judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been three years since the government published details of the options regarding the regulation of private military companies, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42455]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been three years since the government published details of the options regarding the regulation of private military companies, yet ministers have failed to find a solution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it draws near to witching time of night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44517]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it draws near to witching time of night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44517</guid></item></channel></rss>
