But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm eighteen years behind in my ironing.

Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ordinary people believe only in the possible.
