For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no,' I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke.

Common sense tells us this assumption is wrong -- and nothing in the Bible supports such a conclusion. Believing that God is the Lord of history, we believe that God is at work now in the development of industry and commerce throughout the world, in the experiments and researches of the scientists, in the deliberations of the United Nations, and in the course of events in Berlin and Havana, in Moscow and Peiping, and Detroit. One might say, then that He seems to be doing some very strange and contradictory things! But, though we cannot claim to know God's purpose in all this, we do believe that God acts in all these circumstances. The revolutionary changes of our time are not all a mistake: they are not taking place without God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't believe civilization can do a lot more than educate a person's senses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55131]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't believe civilization can do a lot more than educate a person's senses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before the reward there must be labor.

Now, I do not want here to discuss whether the miraculous is possible: I only want to point out that this is a purely philosophical question. Scholars, as scholars, speak on it with no more authority than anyone else. The canon, "If miraculous, unhistorical", is one they bring to their study of the texts, not one they have learned from it. If one is speaking of authority, the united authority of all the Biblical critics in the world counts for nothing. On this they speak simply as men -- men obviously influenced by, and perhaps insufficiently critical of, the spirit of the age they grew up in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man can observe himself suffering and is able, later, to describe what he's gone through, it means he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25357]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man can observe himself suffering and is able, later, to describe what he's gone through, it means he was born for literature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ne'er take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ne'er take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64182]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That happens.
