hour of need He was forsaken by acquaintances and left by friends to the depths of scorn. 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[Love is lost in men's capricious minds, but in women s, it fills all the room it finds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is lost in men's capricious minds, but in women s, it fills all the room it finds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Choose an author as you choose a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4593]]></link><description><![CDATA[Choose an author as you choose a friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This cannot be shared with anyone not on this distribution list, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36849]]></link><description><![CDATA[This cannot be shared with anyone not on this distribution list,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was known as the chief grave robber of my state. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47082]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was known as the chief grave robber of my state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clothe with life the weak intent, let me be the thing I meant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clothe with life the weak intent, let me be the thing I meant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rich the treasure, Sweet the pleasure,  Sweet is pleasure after pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46702]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rich the treasure, Sweet the pleasure,  Sweet is pleasure after pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had a lovers quarrel with the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64721]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had a lovers quarrel with the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those running East Stirlingshire need to be up front about what their plans are for the club. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those running East Stirlingshire need to be up front about what their plans are for the club.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We kind of expected him to be suspended.
