You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every act of creation is first an act of destruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12108]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The presidential vote in Peru is a matter of deep concern to us all, ...

He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never be satisfied with what you achieve, because it all pales in comparison with what you are capable of doing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never be satisfied with what you achieve, because it all pales in comparison with what you are capable of doing in the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Desire is the very essence of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Desire is the very essence of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best antidote I have found is to yearn for something.
