If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beautiful places, they were.

That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373   Christ came, not so much to preach the Gospel, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373   Christ came, not so much to preach the Gospel, as that there might be a Gospel to preach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The military don't start wars.

They cannot believe that there is verily an unseen, mysterious power, till the world and all that is in it has vanished in the smoke of despair; till cause and effect are nothing to the intellect, and possible glories have faded from the imagination. Then, deprived of all that made life pleasant or hopeful, the immortal essence, lonely and wretched and unable to cease, looks up with its now unfettered and wakened instinct to the source of its own life -- to the possible God who, notwithstanding all the improbabilities of His existence, may yet perhaps be, and may yet perhaps hear His wretched creature that calls. In this loneliness of despair, life must find The Life: for joy is gone, and life is all that is left; it is compelled to seek its source, its root, its eternal life. This alone remains a possible thing. Strange condition of despair into which the Spirit of God drives a man -- a condition in which the Best alone is the Possible!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23591]]></link><description><![CDATA[The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keeping your clothes well pressed will keep you from looking hard pressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keeping your clothes well pressed will keep you from looking hard pressed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strike the iron whilst it is hot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strike the iron whilst it is hot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa - slightly off balance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3670]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa - slightly off balance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a situation of chaos in the military line of command. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40297]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a situation of chaos in the military line of command.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546  Let every man recognize what he is, and be certain that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546  Let every man recognize what he is, and be certain that we are all equally priests, that is, we have the same power in the word and in any sacrament whatever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And however are Dennises take offence, A double meaning shows double sense;  And if proverbs tell truth,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23232]]></link><description><![CDATA[And however are Dennises take offence, A double meaning shows double sense;  And if proverbs tell truth,   A double tooth    Is wisdom's adopted dwelling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But shepherds know How hot the mid-day sun shall glow  From the mist of morning sky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51085]]></link><description><![CDATA[But shepherds know How hot the mid-day sun shall glow  From the mist of morning sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a free world there is, alas, more common crime than in a dictatorial system. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29853]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a free world there is, alas, more common crime than in a dictatorial system.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough.
