When in faith we come to God for cleansing from the mess we have made of things, and when we ask for power to reverse causes we have set in motion, God sends in other causes by His Holy Spirit. It may be by direct intervention, or by a combination of circumstances which He controls. We can, therefore, be delivered from the wrath to come, because God will add other causes than those that we have initiated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CAPITAL, n.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man says--"So, so." Heaven says--"No, no." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man says--"So, so." Heaven says--"No, no."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money, which is of very uncertain value, and sometimes has no value at all and even less. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money, which is of very uncertain value, and sometimes has no value at all and even less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great catch is like watching girls go by the last one you see is always the prettiest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17477]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great catch is like watching girls go by the last one you see is always the prettiest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life.

Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bring your own boots, work gloves and dress for cold weather.
