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[If yet not lost to all the sense of shame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56129]]></link><description><![CDATA[If yet not lost to all the sense of shame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mad let us grant him them, and now remains That we find out the cause of this effect--  Or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mad let us grant him them, and now remains That we find out the cause of this effect--  Or rather say, the cause of this defect,   For this effect defective comes by cause.    Thus it remains, and the remainder thus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't feel I deserve a raise just because the price of gasoline is going up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30892]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't feel I deserve a raise just because the price of gasoline is going up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it stops one person from taking the next step and killing somebody else, then it will be worth it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40485]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it stops one person from taking the next step and killing somebody else, then it will be worth it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics, n: Poly "many" + tics "blood-sucking parasites" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46912]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics, n: Poly "many" + tics "blood-sucking parasites"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; To lie in cold obstruction and to rot; This sensible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; To lie in cold obstruction and to rot; This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice; To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendent world. -Measure for Measure.
