In any museum we will find quite ordinary things--clothes, a walking-stick, a pen, pieces of furniture--which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person.

If the universe is so bad, or even half so bad, how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that. The direct inference from black to white, from evil flower to virtuous root, from senseless work to a workman infinitely wise, staggers belief. The spectacle of the universe as revealed by experience can never have been the ground of religion: it must have always been something in spite of which religion, acquired from a different source, was held.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blues, spirituals, and folk tales recounted from mouth to mouth . . . all these formed the channels through which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blues, spirituals, and folk tales recounted from mouth to mouth . . . all these formed the channels through which the racial wisdom flowed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been coming to Los Angeles since 1975 to perform. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34493]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been coming to Los Angeles since 1975 to perform.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prayer is the movement of trust, of gratitude, of adoration, or of sorrow, that places us before God, seeing both ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prayer is the movement of trust, of gratitude, of adoration, or of sorrow, that places us before God, seeing both Him and ourselves in the light of His infinite truth, and moves us to ask Him for the mercy, the spiritual strength, the material help, that we all need. The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is an insult.
