Generally they mean only that they will do as they choose, in the confidence that no one will know their vagaries; and at the utmost only that they are willing to act contrary to the opinion of the majorities because they are supported by the approval of their neighbors. It’s not difficult to be unconventional in the eyes of the world when your unconventionality is but the convention of your set.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the still-vexed Bermoothes. -The Tempest.

Common sense tells us this assumption is wrong -- and nothing in the Bible supports such a conclusion. Believing that God is the Lord of history, we believe that God is at work now in the development of industry and commerce throughout the world, in the experiments and researches of the scientists, in the deliberations of the United Nations, and in the course of events in Berlin and Havana, in Moscow and Peiping, and Detroit. One might say, then that He seems to be doing some very strange and contradictory things! But, though we cannot claim to know God's purpose in all this, we do believe that God acts in all these circumstances. The revolutionary changes of our time are not all a mistake: they are not taking place without God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274   In addition to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274   In addition to the general situations in which men find themselves today, there are those things in personal life which have always tested faith: the inexplicable tragedies and injustices; the suffering of innocent people, especially of children; the seeming uselessness of prayer, and so forth. It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Treading softly like a thief, Lest the harsh shingle should grate underfoot,  And feeling all along the garden wall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Treading softly like a thief, Lest the harsh shingle should grate underfoot,  And feeling all along the garden wall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear Lord, though I be changed to senseless clay, And serve the Potter as he turn his wheel,  I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dear Lord, though I be changed to senseless clay, And serve the Potter as he turn his wheel,  I thank Thee for the gracious gift of tears!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.
