And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the Sabbath bell, That over wood and wild and mountain dell  Wanders so far, chasing all thoughts unholy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4125]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the Sabbath bell, That over wood and wild and mountain dell  Wanders so far, chasing all thoughts unholy   With sounds most musical, most melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was fortunate to get something out over the plate that I could hit out of the park, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35256]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was fortunate to get something out over the plate that I could hit out of the park,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react.
