What, we are really asking, is the purpose of suffering? It seems purposeless. Our question of the why of evil assumes the view that the world has a purpose, and what we want to know is how suffering fits into and advances this purpose. The modern view is that suffering has no purpose because nothing that happens has any purpose: the world is run by causes, not by purposes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you like not hanging, drown yourself; Take some course for your reputation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58245]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you like not hanging, drown yourself; Take some course for your reputation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46832]]></link><description><![CDATA[The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13457]]></link><description><![CDATA[The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music tells no truths. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music tells no truths.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Follow not truth too near the heels, lest it dash out thy teeth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Follow not truth too near the heels, lest it dash out thy teeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is organised knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is organised knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the 1970s and 1980s, many biologists thought wolverines were gone from Washington.

We think of His earthly life as moving on a plane so different from ours that no parallel can be drawn between them. What we forget is, that He too needed to walk by faith, needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit, needed the sympathy of loving friends, needed the strengthening that is gained by private prayer.
