A whole life long didst thou suffer that I too might be saved; and yet thy suffering is not yet at an end; but this too wilt thou endure, saving and redeeming me, this patient suffering of having to do with me, I who so often go astray from the right path, or even when I remained on the straight path stumbled along it or crept so slowly along the right path. Infinite patience, suffering of infinite patience. How many times have I not been impatient, wished to give up and forsake everything; wished to take the terribly easy way out, despair: but thou didst not lose patience. Oh, I cannot say what thy chosen servant says: that he filled up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in his flesh; no, I can only say that I increased thy sufferings, added new ones to those which thou didst once suffer in order to save me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9300]]></link><description><![CDATA[All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To choose time is to save time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14593]]></link><description><![CDATA[To choose time is to save time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yielded with coy submission, modest pride, And sweet reluctant amorous delay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yielded with coy submission, modest pride, And sweet reluctant amorous delay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The company's intent was to cap their costs on health care, and the company came back to the union and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32802]]></link><description><![CDATA[The company's intent was to cap their costs on health care, and the company came back to the union and said that if your members want to stay with the insurance, they will have to pick up those increases.

The Colloquies of Erasmus  February 13, 1999  Faith is the source of energy in the struggle of life, but life still remains a battle which is continually renewed upon ever-new fronts. For every threatening abyss that is closed, another yawning gulf appears. The truth is -- and this is the conclusion of the whole matter -- the Kingdom of God is within us. But we must let our light shine before men in confident and untiring labor that they may see our good works and praise our Father in Heaven. The final ends of all humanity are hidden within His hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since I arrived at the commission, we have greatly stepped up our enforcement against indecent broadcasts, ...

It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not a deceiver, that he should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8443]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not a deceiver, that he should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Content is the philosopher's stone, that turns all it touches into gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Content is the philosopher's stone, that turns all it touches into gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When love becomes labored we welcome an act of infidelity towards ourselves to free us from fidelity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20808]]></link><description><![CDATA[When love becomes labored we welcome an act of infidelity towards ourselves to free us from fidelity]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  From time immemorial men have quenched their thirst with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  From time immemorial men have quenched their thirst with water without knowing anything about its chemical constituents.
