And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I ever reach heaven I expect to find three wonders there: first, to meet some I had not thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19074]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I ever reach heaven I expect to find three wonders there: first, to meet some I had not thought to see there; second, to miss some I had expected to see there; and third, the greatest wonder of all, to find myself there]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best education consists in immunizing people against systematic attempts at education. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13502]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best education consists in immunizing people against systematic attempts at education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as track meets, it's by far the best meet in the state. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40233]]></link><description><![CDATA[As far as track meets, it's by far the best meet in the state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate artists who are not of their time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36186]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate artists who are not of their time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been on a smooth downward trend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29643]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been on a smooth downward trend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One fire burns out another's burning, One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish;  Turn giddy and be holp by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51464]]></link><description><![CDATA[One fire burns out another's burning, One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish;  Turn giddy and be holp by backward turning;   One desperate grief cures with another's languish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45886]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
