He hath carried us up to heaven & set us at the right hand of God, & shall not we endeavour to carry him to those nations, who have not yet heard of his name? Shall we still brag that we have brought our clothes, and our hatchets, and our knives, and bread to this and this value and estimation amongst those poor ignorant Souls, and shall we never glory that we have brought the name, and Religion of Christ Jesus in estimation amongst them? Shall we stay till other nations have planted a false Christ among them? And then either continue in our sloth, or take more pains in rooting out a false Christ than would have planted the true?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a basic philosophy here that by empowering...workers you'll make their jobs far more interesting, and they'll be able to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13758]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a basic philosophy here that by empowering...workers you'll make their jobs far more interesting, and they'll be able to work at a higher level than they would have without all that information just a few clicks away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36254]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction.

For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In darkness there is no choice.
