The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The market] is under-performing in terms of sales because it's tough to find something that works. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35449]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The market] is under-performing in terms of sales because it's tough to find something that works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The affairs of life embrace a multitude of interests, and he who reasons in any one of them, without consulting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56830]]></link><description><![CDATA[The affairs of life embrace a multitude of interests, and he who reasons in any one of them, without consulting the rest, is a visionary unsuited to control the business of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The governor certainly takes pride in Pittsburgh's accomplishments and would be more than willing to participate in a friendly wager. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31893]]></link><description><![CDATA[The governor certainly takes pride in Pittsburgh's accomplishments and would be more than willing to participate in a friendly wager.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your ignorance cramps my conversation ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your ignorance cramps my conversation]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are times in which a genius would wish to live.

It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends.
