For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had delusions of adequacy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11848]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had delusions of adequacy]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is essential for the public to know that aid is being handled in a non-arbitrary, non-discriminatory manner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30393]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is essential for the public to know that aid is being handled in a non-arbitrary, non-discriminatory manner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you educate a man you educate an individual; when you educate a woman you educate a whole family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13515]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you educate a man you educate an individual; when you educate a woman you educate a whole family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass, Stains the white radiance of eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass, Stains the white radiance of eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He (Thomas) started to make a move on me into one, he had such a good run I actually had ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30216]]></link><description><![CDATA[He (Thomas) started to make a move on me into one, he had such a good run I actually had to close the door on him and hope he wasn't going to turn me around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...As in all moral panics, an accusation is enough to destroy a person's life.
