It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless we remember we cannot understand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unless we remember we cannot understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortunate, indeed, is the man who takes exactly the right measure of himself and holds a just balance between what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortunate, indeed, is the man who takes exactly the right measure of himself and holds a just balance between what he can acquire and what he can use.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laws that do not embody public opinion can never be enforced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laws that do not embody public opinion can never be enforced.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foolish ofttimes teach the wise: I strain too much this string of life, belike,  Meaning to make such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19153]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foolish ofttimes teach the wise: I strain too much this string of life, belike,  Meaning to make such music as shall save.   Mine eyes are dim now that they see the truth,    My strength is waned now that my need is most;     Would that I had such help as man must have,      For I shall die, whose life was all men's hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been doing silly voices since I was a child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36257]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've been doing silly voices since I was a child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half this game is ninety percent mental. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Half this game is ninety percent mental.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there are people at once rich and content, be assured that they are content because they know how to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62805]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there are people at once rich and content, be assured that they are content because they know how to be so, not because they are rich.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny has two ways of crushing us -- by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Destiny has two ways of crushing us -- by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10078]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and His Purchaser A MAN wished to purchase an Ass, and agreed with its owner thathe should try ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1507]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ass and His Purchaser A MAN wished to purchase an Ass, and agreed with its owner thathe should try out the animal before he bought him.
