And if we are set upon the pursuit of God, He will sooner or later bring us to this test. Abraham's testing was, at the time, not known to him as such, yet if he had taken some course other than the one he did, the whole history off the Old Testament would have been different. God would have found His man, no doubt, but the loss to Abraham would have been tragic beyond the telling. So we will be brought one by one to the testing place, and we may never know when we are there. At that testing place there will be no dozen possible choices for us; just one and an alternative, but our whole future will be conditioned by the choice we make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27061]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hunger is insolent, and will be fed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hunger is insolent, and will be fed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe the best social program is a job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65994]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe the best social program is a job.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn while you're young', he often said, 'there is much to enjoy, down here below, life for the living, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35622]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn while you're young', he often said, 'there is much to enjoy, down here below, life for the living, and rest for the dead!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60549]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all acts of man repentance is the most divine.
