Yet it is a fact of life that an unlettered person is considered ignorant, however much he may know about nature and man, and a Ph.D. is never considered ignorant, however barren his mind might be outside his narrow specialty and however little he grasps about human feeling or social complexities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why we brought LaMont Jordan here, to run the ball.

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[We feel we would not have a prayer's chance in hell in the Hernando County Jail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40963]]></link><description><![CDATA[We feel we would not have a prayer's chance in hell in the Hernando County Jail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are open to the investigation.
