We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An' all us other children, when the supper things is done, We set around the kitchen fire an' has the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57924]]></link><description><![CDATA[An' all us other children, when the supper things is done, We set around the kitchen fire an' has the mostest fun  A-list'nin' to the witch tales 'at Annie tells about   An' the gobble-uns 'at gits you    Ef you     Don't      Watch       Out!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The prudent person may direct a state, but it is the enthusiast who regenerates or ruins it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22277]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prudent person may direct a state, but it is the enthusiast who regenerates or ruins it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just about anyone can put a solid color tie with a patterned shirt, or vice-versa, but the ability to put ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just about anyone can put a solid color tie with a patterned shirt, or vice-versa, but the ability to put patterns together in a harmonized way results in a much more sophisticated and contemporary look.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest pleasure of life is love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63304]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest pleasure of life is love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more wretched that the mind of a man conscious of guilt. [Lat., Nihil est miserius quam animus hominis ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more wretched that the mind of a man conscious of guilt. [Lat., Nihil est miserius quam animus hominis conscius.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not just a private right - but one belonging to legislators as part of the separation of powers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32889]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is not just a private right - but one belonging to legislators as part of the separation of powers and as part of the essential functions of government.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've just got to get better by using these games.
