In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cats were put into the world to disprove the dogma that all things were created to serve man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cats were put into the world to disprove the dogma that all things were created to serve man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I went to the copy machine, the medal went to the copy machine, too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35436]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I went to the copy machine, the medal went to the copy machine, too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the churches brought the humanitarian perspective that to a large degree was forgotten.

Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact.

The gospel of love -- with its emphasis upon brotherhood, equality before God, the dignity of every human being, and man's social responsibility toward man -- does not satisfy the lack that he urgently feels. That calls for something altogether different, for an assurance that he is superior, that he is right where others are wrong -- a kind of cosmic teacher's pet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bosom upon my counsel; You'll find it wholesome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/791]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bosom upon my counsel; You'll find it wholesome.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She has a housewife's hand; but that's no matter: I say she never did invent this letter;  This is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23009]]></link><description><![CDATA[She has a housewife's hand; but that's no matter: I say she never did invent this letter;  This is a man's invention and his hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A word to the wise ain't necessary -- it's the stupid ones who need the advice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/810]]></link><description><![CDATA[A word to the wise ain't necessary -- it's the stupid ones who need the advice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/810</guid></item></channel></rss>
