They're harder to see than a high-speed mouse. That's one reason why most humans hardly ever see them. The other is that humans are very good at not seeing things they know aren't there.

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[It takes twenty years to become an overnight success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/998]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes twenty years to become an overnight success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have only, when before you glass, to keep pronouncing to yourself nimini-pimini; the lips cannot keep taking their plie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62044]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have only, when before you glass, to keep pronouncing to yourself nimini-pimini; the lips cannot keep taking their plie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We clamor for equality chiefly in matters in which we ourselves cannot hope to attain excellence.
