The discoveries of modern physical and biological science, of astronomy, and of psychology, have profoundly influenced his conception of the "size" of God. If there be a Mind behind the immense complexities of the phenomena that man can observe, then it is that of a Being tremendous in His power and wisdom: it is emphatically not that of a little god. It is perfectly conceivable that such a Being has a moral purpose which is being worked out on the stage of this small planet. It is even possible to believe that such a God deliberately reduced Himself to the stature of humanity in order to visit the earth in Person, as all Christians affirm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is properly no history, only biography. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19330]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is properly no history, only biography.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bottom line is they knocked them down in the fourth quarter when they needed to.

A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world. Scorn the "intellectual" as much as the world esteems it. What men consider intellectual is a certain facility to produce brilliant thoughts. Nothing is more vain. We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He will be the last to discover the disgrace of his house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50452]]></link><description><![CDATA[He will be the last to discover the disgrace of his house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gaming commission would look long and hard.
