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[Privatization is the worst idea to try to protect Social Security.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank God for poverty That makes and keeps us free,  And lets us go our unobtrusive way,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thank God for poverty That makes and keeps us free,  And lets us go our unobtrusive way,   Glad of the sun and rain,    Upright, serene, humane,     Contented with the fortune of a day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was just too good of an opportunity for him to pass up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33922]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was just too good of an opportunity for him to pass up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57715]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even a s Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13638]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even a s Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.
