The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). 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[For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59306]]></link><description><![CDATA[For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is anotherstep forward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21198]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is anotherstep forward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being a fulltime mother is one of the highest salaried jobs since the payment is pure Love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being a fulltime mother is one of the highest salaried jobs since the payment is pure Love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since every death diminishes us a little, we grieve - not so much for the death as for ourselves ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since every death diminishes us a little, we grieve - not so much for the death as for ourselves]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64533]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/963]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dirigo [I lead] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dirigo [I lead]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We asked who our surveyed companies thought were leaders in SOA technology.

Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the things that truly matter beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace arise from beyond the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63007]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the things that truly matter beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace arise from beyond the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10622]]></link><description><![CDATA[You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything you're good at contributes to happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money never starts an idea; it is the idea that starts the money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money never starts an idea; it is the idea that starts the money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And always we had wars, and more wars, and still other wars — all over Europe, all over the world. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61142]]></link><description><![CDATA[And always we had wars, and more wars, and still other wars — all over Europe, all over the world.

The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits.
