Its seers and prophets are not men of philosophic mind, who have risen from the seen to the unseen and, by dint of much reflection, have gradually attained to elevated conceptions of Him who is the Author of all that is. They are men of God whom God has chosen, that He might speak to them and, through them, to His people. Israel has not, in and by them, created for itself a God: God has, through them, created for Himself a people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11097]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We tell the public which way the cat is jumping.
