The two ideas of Free-will and Divine Sovereignty can not be reconciled in our own minds, but that does not prevent them from being reconciled in God's mind. We measure Him by our own intellectual standard if we think otherwise. And so our solution of the problem of Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual salvation must finally lie in the full acceptance and realisation of what is implied by the infinity and the omniscience of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To those who can dream there is no such place as faraway.  ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12960]]></link><description><![CDATA[To those who can dream there is no such place as faraway. ]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me.

The more differentiated and specialized the parts, the more elaborate co-ordination is needed to create a well-balanced whole. The ultimate criterion of the value of a functional whole is the degree of its internal harmony or integratedness, whether the "functional whole" is a biological species or a civilization or an individual. A whole is defined by the pattern of relations between its parts, not by the sum of its parts; and a civilization is not defined by the sum of its science, technology, art and social organization, but by the total pattern which they form, and the degree of harmonious integration in that pattern.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing we have learnt from experience is that we learn nothing from experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31490]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing we have learnt from experience is that we learn nothing from experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every believer is God's miracle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every believer is God's miracle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17345]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a gentle way, you can shake the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21096]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a gentle way, you can shake the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Straightway throughout the Libyan cities flies rumor;--the report of evil things than which nothing is swifter; it flourishes by its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Straightway throughout the Libyan cities flies rumor;--the report of evil things than which nothing is swifter; it flourishes by its very activity and gains new strength by its movements; small at first through fear, it soon raises itself aloft and sweeps onward along the earth.
