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[No man likes to be surpassed by those of this own level. [Lat., A proximis quisque minime anteire vult.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14018]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man likes to be surpassed by those of this own level. [Lat., A proximis quisque minime anteire vult.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A name is a label, and as soon as there is a label, the ideas disappear and out comes label-worship ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44100]]></link><description><![CDATA[A name is a label, and as soon as there is a label, the ideas disappear and out comes label-worship and label-bashing, and instead of living by a theme of ideas, people begin dying for labels... and the last thing the world needs is another religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the money.

It is love alone in the holy Deity that will allow no peace to the wicked, nor ever cease its judgments till every sinner is forced to confess that it is good for him that he has been in trouble, and thankfully own that not the wrath but the love of God has plucked out that right eye, cut off that right band, which he ought to have done but would not do for himself and his own salvation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do believe that if it's meant to be, it will be.
