Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're exploiting the s--- out of Comic-Con.

For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't find fault, find a remedy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't find fault, find a remedy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Homosexuality in Russia is a crime and the punishment is seven years in prison, locked up with the other men. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Homosexuality in Russia is a crime and the punishment is seven years in prison, locked up with the other men.
