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[I think most people will believe that Arthur Anderson died because (after Enron imploded) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29654]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think most people will believe that Arthur Anderson died because (after Enron imploded)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make it a point not to be over-fascinating. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make it a point not to be over-fascinating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters. •Evander Holyfield   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19052]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters. •Evander Holyfield   The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers. •Deepak Chopra   Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft. •Ovid   Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. •Ralph Waldo Emerson   A heart in love with beauty never grows old. •Turkish Proverb   To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it functions best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For historians ought to be precise, truthful, and quite unprejudiced, and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, should cause ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19460]]></link><description><![CDATA[For historians ought to be precise, truthful, and quite unprejudiced, and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, should cause them to swerve from the path of truth, whose mother is history, the rival of time, the depository of great actions, the witness of what is past, the example and instruction of the present, the monitor of the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your religion doesn't teach you the difference between good and evil, your religion is worse than useless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20306]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your religion doesn't teach you the difference between good and evil, your religion is worse than useless.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Approbation from Sir Hubert Stanley is praise indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Approbation from Sir Hubert Stanley is praise indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence - that common cure of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence - that common cure of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You grow up on the day you have your first real laugh at, yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26844]]></link><description><![CDATA[You grow up on the day you have your first real laugh at, yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That hatred springs more from self-contempt than from a legitimate grievance is seen in the intimate connection between hatred and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52308]]></link><description><![CDATA[That hatred springs more from self-contempt than from a legitimate grievance is seen in the intimate connection between hatred and a guilty conscience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A room without books is like a body without a soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4602]]></link><description><![CDATA[A room without books is like a body without a soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the end of about a week, I called back and said, "I need something to compare this to.
