For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winning makes an experience more positive.

Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you sow, so shall you also reap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48828]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you sow, so shall you also reap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes.
