In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a new experience for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36701]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a new experience for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour.

Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero.
