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. "God", says Pascal, "instituted prayer in order to lend to His creatures the dignity of causality." But it is not only prayer; whenever we act at all, He lends us that dignity. 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.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was the Door to which I found no key; There was the Veil through which I might not see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17095]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was the Door to which I found no key; There was the Veil through which I might not see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love me or hate me, but spare me your indifference. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love me or hate me, but spare me your indifference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some nation states prohibit the police from collecting information on their own citizens.

This is, of course, why many otherwise honest intellectual people will construct a neat by-pass around the claim of Jesus to be God. Being people of insight and imagination, they know perfectly well that once to accept such a claim as fact would mean a readjustment of their own purposes and values and affections which they may have no wish to make. To call Jesus the greatest Figure in History or the finest Moral Teacher the world has ever seen commits no one to anything. But once to allow the startled mind to accept as fact that this man is really focused-God may commit anyone to anything! There is every excuse for blundering in the dark, but in the light there is no cover from reality. It is because we strongly sense this, and not merely because we feel that the evidence is ancient and scanty, that we shrink from committing ourselves to such a far-reaching belief as that Jesus Christ was really God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The service you do for others is the rent you pay for the time you spend on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57717]]></link><description><![CDATA[The service you do for others is the rent you pay for the time you spend on earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a continuum of values between the churches and the general community.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exercise is bunk.
