Its seers and prophets are not men of philosophic mind, who have risen from the seen to the unseen and, by dint of much reflection, have gradually attained to elevated conceptions of Him who is the Author of all that is. They are men of God whom God has chosen, that He might speak to them and, through them, to His people. Israel has not, in and by them, created for itself a God: God has, through them, created for Himself a people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreading that climax of all earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreading that climax of all earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19435]]></link><description><![CDATA[The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole race of scribblers flies from the town and yearns for country life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50358]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole race of scribblers flies from the town and yearns for country life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was sick, you gave me bitter pills, And I must minister the like to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26725]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was sick, you gave me bitter pills, And I must minister the like to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gloaming comes, the day is spent, The sun goes out of sight,  And painted is the occident  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59923]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gloaming comes, the day is spent, The sun goes out of sight,  And painted is the occident   With purple sanguine bright.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[…a few philosophers really do important work.

For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There shall never be one lost good!

When I clear my mind and let the music take over, my hands seem to move on their own, and my voice utters words I haven't premeditated. This is pure instinct. It's like riding a wave. You just take a deep breath, hop on, and hang on as long as you can. That's basically how I songwrite when I'm composing impromptu pieces. It's a lot like channeling. Or free associating.
