And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hockey is a sport for white men.

Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse. The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx of pedantic mediocrities, across the centuries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For his religion, it was fit To match his learning and his wit;  'Twas Presbyterian true blue;   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12627]]></link><description><![CDATA[For his religion, it was fit To match his learning and his wit;  'Twas Presbyterian true blue;   For he was of that stubborn crew    Of errant saints, whom all men grant     To be the true Church Militant;      Such as do build their faith upon       The holy text of pike and gun;        Decide all controversies by         Infallible artillery;          And prove their doctrine orthodox,           By Apostolic blows and knocks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's only so much we can do.
