If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing is forever good; That one thing is Success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58140]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing is forever good; That one thing is Success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever the results of the referendum are ... it is a civilized step that aims to put Iraq on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever the results of the referendum are ... it is a civilized step that aims to put Iraq on the path of true democracy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?  They are leaning their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?  They are leaning their young heads against their mothers,   And that cannot stop their tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's for another day.

The shared life of the Christian community must become a context in which the differing gifts can be used for each other. There is much still to be learned about this. Are the homes of married Christians an added support for the single? Is the availability of the single Christian put at the disposal of his married friends, for "babysitting" duties and the like. And what is true of the mutual support of married and single needs to be true in a wider way of the care exercised by the married and the single for each other, so that nobody's home life becomes completely cut off from support and help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26567]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall. -Measure for Measure.
