It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little.

The first involved machines which extended human muscle; the second used machines to extend the human nervous system (radio, television, telephones); the third is now utilizing machines which extend the human mind-computers. About half of all service workers (43 percent of the labor force by 2000) will be involved in collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, structuring, storing, or retrieving information...

Not that we are bound to believe any thing against reason, that is, to believe, we know not why. It is but a slack opinion, it is not Belief, that is not grounded upon Reason. It is true, we have not a Demonstration; not such an Evidence as that one and two are three, to prove these to be Scriptures of God; God hath not proceeded in that manner, to drive our reason into a pound, and to force it by a peremptory necessity to accept these for Scriptures, for then, here had been no exercise of our Will, and our assent, if we could not have resisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friendly look, a kindly smile, one good act, and life's worthwhile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65746]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friendly look, a kindly smile, one good act, and life's worthwhile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[EEYORE: I'm not saying there won't be an Accident now, mind you.
