For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers; or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will. "God", says Pascal, "instituted prayer in order to lend to His creatures the dignity of causality." But it is not only prayer; whenever we act at all, He lends us that dignity. It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just want to tell stories and this is the story I've wanted to tell for the past six years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32730]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just want to tell stories and this is the story I've wanted to tell for the past six years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is so plaguy proud that the death-tokens of it Cry 'No recovery.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48205]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is so plaguy proud that the death-tokens of it Cry 'No recovery.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is an unknowable there is a promise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is an unknowable there is a promise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I work in a strange business, and trust is a word that's not even in the vocabulary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15923]]></link><description><![CDATA[I work in a strange business, and trust is a word that's not even in the vocabulary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13069]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He just told us to keep going to class, Yeah. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29188]]></link><description><![CDATA[He just told us to keep going to class, Yeah.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've done lots of research, and we've found sources for everything but the 70-foot poles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32726]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've done lots of research, and we've found sources for everything but the 70-foot poles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never frown...even when you're sad you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never frown...even when you're sad you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who covereth thyself with light as a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who covereth thyself with light as a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:  Who maketh his angels spirits: his ministers a flaming fire:   Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The observation of others is coloured by our inability to observe ourselves impartially.
