Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All tuition rates are approved by the Board of Trustees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31230]]></link><description><![CDATA[All tuition rates are approved by the Board of Trustees.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These men that kill 100, 50 and 70 men a day -- have they been put to death.
