For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers, or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will... It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so. They have not advised or changed God' s mind -- that is, His overall purpose. But that purpose will be realized in different ways according to the actions, including the prayers, of His creatures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miscellanists are the most popular writers among every people; for it is they who form a communication between the learned ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Miscellanists are the most popular writers among every people; for it is they who form a communication between the learned and the unlearned, and, as it were, throw a bridge between those two great divisions of the public.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one cannot catch the bird of paradise, better take a wet hen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45476]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one cannot catch the bird of paradise, better take a wet hen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Thy good word informs my soul How I may climb to heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54919]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Thy good word informs my soul How I may climb to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shear swine, all cry and no wool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shear swine, all cry and no wool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't even get an allowance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15849]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't even get an allowance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's going to be cool because I'm going to be the very first class to go there for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37365]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's going to be cool because I'm going to be the very first class to go there for four years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I can tell you is that we're continuing to gather information.

Every act of goodwill permanently and sensibly increases goodwill. Trifling acts of goodwill are often more efficacious in this way than great ones. A flower given in kindness and at the right time profits more, both to giver and receiver, than some vast material benefit in which the goodwill is hidden by the magnitude of the act. Some little, sensible, individual touch from the hand of our Lord may convert the heart more than the contemplation of His death for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With our short sight we affect to take a comprehensive view of eternity.

Yet there was a case, in which David found an ease, to fall into the hands of God, to scape the hands of men: When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearefull thing, to fall into the hands of the living God; but to fall out of the hands of the living God, is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8081</guid></item></channel></rss>
