In the darkening corridors of time, they preserved integral their vision of the daylight at the end. This is a matter not of calculation but of faith. Our work may be small and its results invisible to us. But we may rest assured it will come to fruition in God's good time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't brood on what's past, but never forget it either. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't brood on what's past, but never forget it either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12859]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can we believe that God ever really modifies His action in response to the suggestions of men?

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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The total number of eligible voters is 15.5 million, ... and we expect the turn-out to reach 11 or 12 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34838]]></link><description><![CDATA[The total number of eligible voters is 15.5 million, ... and we expect the turn-out to reach 11 or 12 million.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43512]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to retain his amateur status.
