So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simple people... are very quick to see the live facts which are going on about them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46097]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simple people... are very quick to see the live facts which are going on about them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Superstition is the religion of feeble minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then sing, young hearts that are full of cheer, with never a thought of sorrow; the old goes out, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then sing, young hearts that are full of cheer, with never a thought of sorrow; the old goes out, but the glad young year comes merrily in tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[There is an odd grammar in that sentence, which seems wrong, but is actually precise.] Close siblings were less common, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39538]]></link><description><![CDATA[[There is an odd grammar in that sentence, which seems wrong, but is actually precise.] Close siblings were less common, ...

There do I dwell, in weakness and in power;  Not broken or divided, saith our God!  In your strait garden plot I come to flowers  About your porch My Vine,  Meek, fruitful, doth entwine;  Waits, at the threshold, Love's appointed hour. I come in the little things, Saith the Lord: Yea! on the glancing wings Of eager birds, the softly pattering feet Of furred and gentle beasts, I come to meet Your hear and wayward heart. In brown bright eyes That peep from out the brake, I stand confest. On every nest Where feathery Patience is content to brood And leaves her pleasure for the high emprize Of motherhood -- There doth My Godhead rest. I come in the little things,  Saith the Lord:  My starry wings I do forsake,  Love's highway of humility to take:  Meekly I fit my stature to your need.  In beggar's part  About your gates I shall not cease to plead -- As man, to speak with man -- Till by such art  I shall achieve My Immemorial Plan,  Pass the low lintel of the human heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very important that we have access to safe, legal pregnancy termination services, whether it is emergency contraceptives right ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31443]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is very important that we have access to safe, legal pregnancy termination services, whether it is emergency contraceptives right after the assault or an abortion service.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883   There is a certain kind of so-called conversion which separates ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883   There is a certain kind of so-called conversion which separates a man from his fellow men. It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew we'd have to bring our 'A' game.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is almost a contradiction in terms: it means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is almost a contradiction in terms: it means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the citizens of a state cannot be equally powerful, but they may be equally free ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14112]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the citizens of a state cannot be equally powerful, but they may be equally free]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the government does not help us, we are ready to take up arms, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36725]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the government does not help us, we are ready to take up arms,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even at the turning o' the tide. -King Henry V.
