If the universe were a mere chaos of chances, or if it were a result of absolute necessity, there would be no place for intelligent prayer; but if it is under the control of a Lawgiver, wise and merciful, not a mere manager of material machinery, but a true Father of all, then we can come to such a Being with our requests -- not in the belief that we change His great plans, nor that any advantage could result from this if it were possible, but that these plans may be made in his boundless wisdom and love to meet our necessities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there's anything I'm proud about from that season, it was not being deterred by appendicitis and a torn quad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30471]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there's anything I'm proud about from that season, it was not being deterred by appendicitis and a torn quad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Impersonal realities do indeed exercise over me some kinds of constraint, as does the wind when it constrains me to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Impersonal realities do indeed exercise over me some kinds of constraint, as does the wind when it constrains me to battle against it or the rain when it compels me to take shelter. But the constraint of which I have been speaking is of a wholly different kind; it is a constraint to be pure-minded and loyal-hearted, to be kind and true and tender, and to love my neighbour as myself. And what could possibly be meant by saying that any reality of an impersonal kind could exercise over me such a constraint as that? I have never been able to see that it could mean anything at all. I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So much perfection argues rottenness somewhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46120]]></link><description><![CDATA[So much perfection argues rottenness somewhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we put things off until some future-probably mythical-Laterland,we drag the past into the future.

You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents.
