Trouble may demolish a man's business but build up his character. The blow at the outward man may be the greatest blessing to the inner man. If God, then, puts or permits anything hard in our lives, be sure that the real peril, the real trouble, is that we shall lose if we flinch or rebel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you get married you forget about kissing other women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2014]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you get married you forget about kissing other women.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's smart.

If a Livie or a Guicciardine, or such extensive and voluminous authors had had this story in hand, God must have made another world, to have made them a library to hold their books, of the making of this world. Into what wire would they have drawn out this earth! Into what leaf-gold would they have beat out these heavens! It may assist our conjecture herein, to consider, that amongst those men, who proceed with a sober modesty and limitation in their writing, & make a conscience not to clog the world with unnecessary books, yet the volumes which are written by them, upon the beginning of Genesis, are scarce less than infinite. God did no more but say, Let this & this be done; and Moses doth no more but say, that upon God's saying it was done. God required not Nature to help him to do it; Moses required not Reason to help him believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being.
