To afford sympathetic entertainment to abstract ideas, to let one idea beget another, and that another, till the mind teems with them; to compare one idea with others, to weigh, to consider, evaluate, approve, respect, correct, refine; to join thought with thought like an architect till a whole edifice has been created within the mind; to travel back in imagination to the beginning of the creation and then to leap swiftly forward to the end of time; to bound upward through illimitable space and downward into the nucleus of an atom; and all this without so much as moving from our chair or opening the eyes--this is to soar above all the lower creation and come near to the angels of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Distance has the same effect on the mind as on the eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Distance has the same effect on the mind as on the eye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on prayer:   We know that the wind blows; why should we not know that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on prayer:   We know that the wind blows; why should we not know that God answers prayer? I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself?
