The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm structuring a program that's going to be individualized based on 'X' pitcher.

But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guido the plumber and Michelangelo obtained their marble from the same quarry, but what each saw in the marble made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guido the plumber and Michelangelo obtained their marble from the same quarry, but what each saw in the marble made the difference between a nobleman's sink and a brilliant sculpture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no way to prosperity, prosperity is the way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21502]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no way to prosperity, prosperity is the way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  Give me a stout heart to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  Give me a stout heart to bear my own burdens.
