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 hole and the patch should be commensurate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hole and the patch should be commensurate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The positive testimony of history is that the State invariably had its origin in conquest and confiscation.

In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have to pay money, you haven't won a thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37086]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have to pay money, you haven't won a thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not donut. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61620]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not donut.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Birth and ancestry, and that which we have not ourselves achieved, we can scarcely call our own. [Lat., Nam genus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Birth and ancestry, and that which we have not ourselves achieved, we can scarcely call our own. [Lat., Nam genus et proavos et quae non fecimus ipsi  Vix ea nostra voco.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We haven't even considered it.
