Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3121]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work.

His insistence on taking seriously the gropings of all men for the truth about their lives must be allowed to remind the ecumenical movement that the word oikoumene is Greek not for "the Church" but for "the whole inhabited world". The ecumenical movement is more than Christian patriarchs kissing. Christian unity means the unity of mankind in finding and obeying God. Tillich can teach us that the Church must not shut its door to celebrate a family reunion while a single child of God remains outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24]]></link><description><![CDATA[The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the table without a deal]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which happens in life is not as important as how you accept it.
