That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like 'Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!' and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, 'That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice.' Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Most musical, most melancholy" bird! A melancholy bird!

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers, or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will... It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so. They have not advised or changed God' s mind -- that is, His overall purpose. But that purpose will be realized in different ways according to the actions, including the prayers, of His creatures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The image of NSA has been muddied considerably by this revelation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42196]]></link><description><![CDATA[The image of NSA has been muddied considerably by this revelation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inconsistency is the only thing in which men are consistent ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inconsistency is the only thing in which men are consistent]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creator Venus, genial power of love, The bliss of men below, and gods above!  Beneath the sliding sun thou ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creator Venus, genial power of love, The bliss of men below, and gods above!  Beneath the sliding sun thou runn'st thy race,   Dost fairest shine, and best become thy place;    For thee the winds their eastern blasts forbear,     Thy mouth reveals the spring, and opens all the year;      Thee, goddess, thee, the storms of winter fly,       Earth smiles with flowers renewing, laughs the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If every word I said could make you laugh, I'd talk forever... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24157]]></link><description><![CDATA[If every word I said could make you laugh, I'd talk forever...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know the competition level that they were playing against, but obviously if you're scoring that many points, you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38183]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know the competition level that they were playing against, but obviously if you're scoring that many points, you have weapons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38183</guid></item></channel></rss>
