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[Such a wife as I want... must be young, handsome I lay most stress upon a good shape, sensible a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such a wife as I want... must be young, handsome I lay most stress upon a good shape, sensible a little learning will do, well-bread, chaste, and tender.

Criminal laws are laws, imposed on men, who are already in existence, with or without their consent, and, with the possible exception of capital punishment for murder, there is no logical relation between the nature of a crime and the penalty inflicted for committing it. If God created man, then the laws of man's spiritual nature must, like the laws of his physical nature, be laws -- laws, that is to say, which he is free to defy but no more free to break than he can break the law of gravity by jumping out of the window, or the laws of biochemistry by getting drunk -- and the consequences of defying them must be as inevitable and as intrinsically related to their nature as a broken leg or a hangover. To state spiritual laws in the imperative -- Thou shalt love God with all thy being, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself -- is simply a pedagogical technique, as when a mother says to her small son, "Stay away from the window!" because the child does not yet know what will happen if he falls out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ay, do despise me, I'm the prouder for it; I like to be despised. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ay, do despise me, I'm the prouder for it; I like to be despised.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An upbraided morsell never choaked any. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49133]]></link><description><![CDATA[An upbraided morsell never choaked any.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in grumbling; it is the politest form of fighting known. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1246]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in grumbling; it is the politest form of fighting known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not in combat the last time I checked.
