We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity is the first path to truth. - Don Juan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity is the first path to truth. - Don Juan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alex takes up a lot of cage and he plays good angles.
