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[View the whole scene, with critic judgment scan, And then deny him merit if you can.  Where he falls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27381]]></link><description><![CDATA[View the whole scene, with critic judgment scan, And then deny him merit if you can.  Where he falls short, 'tis Nature's fault alone   Where he succeeds, the merit's all his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached, even death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15115]]></link><description><![CDATA[The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached, even death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness exists only if you have a lot of people to share it with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness exists only if you have a lot of people to share it with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of our executives make very sound decisions.
