If the universe were a mere chaos of chances, or if it were a result of absolute necessity, there would be no place for intelligent prayer; but if it is under the control of a Lawgiver, wise and merciful, not a mere manager of material machinery, but a true Father of all, then we can come to such a Being with our requests -- not in the belief that we change His great plans, nor that any advantage could result from this if it were possible, but that these plans may be made in his boundless wisdom and love to meet our necessities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will do thee a good turne, either he will be gon or dye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49409]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will do thee a good turne, either he will be gon or dye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing contributes more to a person's peace of mind than having no opinions at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing contributes more to a person's peace of mind than having no opinions at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[develop internal resources and transform them into internal investments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29696]]></link><description><![CDATA[develop internal resources and transform them into internal investments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity into churchiness, and the narrowing of the Gospel for all mankind into a set of approved beliefs; but the chief cause must be the worship of an inadequate god -- a cramped and regulated god who is a 'good churchman' according to the formulas of the worshipper. For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a very sad time and a big loss for me personally. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37081]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a very sad time and a big loss for me personally.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23400]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46052]]></link><description><![CDATA[When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When an area is disturbed, it upsets the natural balance and creates an ecological open space that gives non-natives a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28174]]></link><description><![CDATA[When an area is disturbed, it upsets the natural balance and creates an ecological open space that gives non-natives a foothold, ...

Death and life go on their own way, carry on their own work, and stay for no opinions... What a delusion it is therefore to grow gray-headed in balancing ancient and modern opinions; to waste the precious uncertain fire of life in critical zeal and verbal animosities; when nothing but the kindling of our working will into a faith that overcometh the world, into a steadfast hope, and ever-burning love and desire of the divine life, can hinder us from falling into eternal death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Community service is a big part of scouting and this is a good project. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28402]]></link><description><![CDATA[Community service is a big part of scouting and this is a good project.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to take it as a challenge, ...
