Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4633]]></link><description><![CDATA["Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54660]]></link><description><![CDATA[If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With every passing hour our solar system comes forty-three thousand miles closer to globular cluster 13 in the constellation Hercules, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48362]]></link><description><![CDATA[With every passing hour our solar system comes forty-three thousand miles closer to globular cluster 13 in the constellation Hercules, and still there are some misfits who continue to insist that there is no such thing as progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16686]]></link><description><![CDATA[A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana.
