He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His frown was full of terror, and his voice Shook the delinquent with such fits of awe  As left ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15506]]></link><description><![CDATA[His frown was full of terror, and his voice Shook the delinquent with such fits of awe  As left him not, till penitence had won   Lost favor back again, and clos'd the breach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's just so much like Iraq, it's not funny, ... except for all the water, and they speak English. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35086]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's just so much like Iraq, it's not funny, ... except for all the water, and they speak English.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather lose a good earring than be caught without make-up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65262]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather lose a good earring than be caught without make-up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are overdue for the next pandemic.

But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm.
