I have always wagered against God and I regard the little that I have won in this world as simply the outcome of this bet. However paltry may have been the stake (my life) I am conscious of having won to the full. Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even on the most exalted throne in the world we are only sitting on our own bottom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58182]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even on the most exalted throne in the world we are only sitting on our own bottom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Risk assessment has not proven itself infallible.

Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit.
