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[A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3939]]></link><description><![CDATA[A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Henry Martyn, Translator of the Scriptures, Missionary in India & Persia, 1812   Relieve and comfort all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Henry Martyn, Translator of the Scriptures, Missionary in India & Persia, 1812   Relieve and comfort all the persecuted and afflicted; speak peace to troubled consciences; strengthen the weak; confirm the strong; instruct the ignorant; deliver the oppressed from him that spoileth him; and relieve the needy that hath no helper; and bring us all, by the waters of comfort, and in the ways of righteousness, to the kingdom of rest and glory, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes.
