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[Shadows are in reality, when the sun is shining, the most conspicuous thing in a landscape, next to the highest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shadows are in reality, when the sun is shining, the most conspicuous thing in a landscape, next to the highest lights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The key to your universe is that you can choose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The key to your universe is that you can choose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more virtuous any man is, the less easily does he suspect others to be vicious. [Lat., Nam ut quisque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60772]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more virtuous any man is, the less easily does he suspect others to be vicious. [Lat., Nam ut quisque est vir optimus, ita difficillime esse alios improbos suspicatur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears;  The rose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51119]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears;  The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew,   And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations.

One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's to the red of it, There's not a thread of it,  No, not a shred of it,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's to the red of it, There's not a thread of it,  No, not a shred of it,   In all the spread of it,    From foot to head,     Not heroes bled for it,      Faced steel and lead for it,       Precious blood shed for it,        Bathing in red.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384  Christian men and women, old and young, should study well in the New ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384  Christian men and women, old and young, should study well in the New Testament, for it is of full authority, and open to understanding by simple men, as to the points that are most needful to salvation. Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[High technology has done us one great service: It has retaught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34281]]></link><description><![CDATA[High technology has done us one great service: It has retaught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks - chopping wood, building a fire, drawing water from a spring]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything we do in emergency services is a calculated risk, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything we do in emergency services is a calculated risk,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9367]]></link><description><![CDATA[The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41253]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Independence is essential for permanent but fatal to immediate success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Independence is essential for permanent but fatal to immediate success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a precious gift.
