Common sense tells us this assumption is wrong -- and nothing in the Bible supports such a conclusion. Believing that God is the Lord of history, we believe that God is at work now in the development of industry and commerce throughout the world, in the experiments and researches of the scientists, in the deliberations of the United Nations, and in the course of events in Berlin and Havana, in Moscow and Peiping, and Detroit. One might say, then that He seems to be doing some very strange and contradictory things! But, though we cannot claim to know God's purpose in all this, we do believe that God acts in all these circumstances. The revolutionary changes of our time are not all a mistake: they are not taking place without God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty. [Lat., Timor non est diuturnus magister officii.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty. [Lat., Timor non est diuturnus magister officii.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did a good job with Ruiz, and we had a couple of clear chances, but we could not capitalize ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31661]]></link><description><![CDATA[We did a good job with Ruiz, and we had a couple of clear chances, but we could not capitalize on them,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God keep me from false friends! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51515]]></link><description><![CDATA[God keep me from false friends!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Myself acquainted with misfortune, I learn to help the unfortunate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Myself acquainted with misfortune, I learn to help the unfortunate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just living is not enough...

And now I mean affection. Now I mean to be fond of (as one is fond of oneself) --to hope, to be disappointed, to live inside the other heart. When I look back on the pain of sex, the love like a wild fox so ready to bite, the antagonism that sits like a twin beside love, and contrast it with affection, so deeply unrepeatable, of two people who have lived a life together (and of whom one must die) it's the affection I find richer. It's that I would have again. Not all those doubtful rainbow colors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel & Henrietta Barnett, Social Reformers, 1913 & 1936  It should be noted, at least by those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel & Henrietta Barnett, Social Reformers, 1913 & 1936  It should be noted, at least by those who accept Christ's claim to be God, that he by no means fits into the picture of the "mystic saint". Those who are fascinated by the supposed superiority of the mystic soul might profitably compile a list of its characteristics and place them side by side with those of Christ. The results would probably expose a surprising conclusion. There is, in fact, no provision for a "privileged class" in genuine Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If A equal success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58183]]></link><description><![CDATA[If A equal success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most basic inherent constraint is that neither time nor wisdom are free goods available in unlimited quantity.

Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guess what?
