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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The violence done us by others is often less painful than that which we do to ourselves ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60662]]></link><description><![CDATA[The violence done us by others is often less painful than that which we do to ourselves]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That chastity of honour which felt a stain like a wound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5790]]></link><description><![CDATA[That chastity of honour which felt a stain like a wound.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need, in effect, to make the phantom 'lock-boxes' around the trust fund real. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65014]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need, in effect, to make the phantom 'lock-boxes' around the trust fund real.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This very moment is a seed from which the flowers of tomorrow's happiness grow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43942]]></link><description><![CDATA[This very moment is a seed from which the flowers of tomorrow's happiness grow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But that I am forbid To tell the secrets of my prison house,  I could a tale unfold whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54991]]></link><description><![CDATA[But that I am forbid To tell the secrets of my prison house,  I could a tale unfold whose lightest word   Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,    Make thy two eyes like stars start from their spheres,     Thy knotted and combined locks to part,      And each particular hair to stand on end       Like quills upon the fretful porpentine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science, it doesn't matter if you're wrong, as long as you're not stupid.
