If the universe is so bad, or even half so bad, how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that. The direct inference from black to white, from evil flower to virtuous root, from senseless work to a workman infinitely wise, staggers belief. The spectacle of the universe as revealed by experience can never have been the ground of religion: it must have always been something in spite of which religion, acquired from a different source, was held.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vivutur ingenio, that damn'd motto there Seduced me first to me a wicked player. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vivutur ingenio, that damn'd motto there Seduced me first to me a wicked player.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've often wished that I had clear, For life, six hundred pounds a year,  A handsome house to lodge ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61791]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've often wished that I had clear, For life, six hundred pounds a year,  A handsome house to lodge a friend,   A river at my garden's end,    A terrace walk, and half a rood     Of land, set out to plant a wood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The AP] informed us last semester their operations were to shut down, ...

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[Stars will blossom in the darkness, Violets bloom beneath the snow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60702]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stars will blossom in the darkness, Violets bloom beneath the snow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43468]]></link><description><![CDATA[The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another . . . and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For them to begin to see ACS as a more positive presence in the communities that's huge progress.
