The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis the merry nightingale That crowds, and hurries, and precipitates  With fast thick warble his delicious notes,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44542]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis the merry nightingale That crowds, and hurries, and precipitates  With fast thick warble his delicious notes,   As he were fearful that an April night    Would be too short for him to utter forth     His love-chant, and disburthen his full soul      Of all its music!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of people don't want to make their own decisions.
