We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is terrible except fear itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is terrible except fear itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The role of Barbara, in Music for Millions, was literally a tonic for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39357]]></link><description><![CDATA[The role of Barbara, in Music for Millions, was literally a tonic for me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cause lies hidden; the effect is most notorious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50768]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cause lies hidden; the effect is most notorious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief pang of most trials is not so much the actual suffering itself as our own spirit of resistance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6203]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief pang of most trials is not so much the actual suffering itself as our own spirit of resistance to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew we had 90 minutes to find a goal but the first half was too hectic and we were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40194]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew we had 90 minutes to find a goal but the first half was too hectic and we were too nervous,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth is the trustee of prosperity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Youth is the trustee of prosperity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[peace for allwants Isabelle..
