A whole life long didst thou suffer that I too might be saved; and yet thy suffering is not yet at an end; but this too wilt thou endure, saving and redeeming me, this patient suffering of having to do with me, I who so often go astray from the right path, or even when I remained on the straight path stumbled along it or crept so slowly along the right path. Infinite patience, suffering of infinite patience. How many times have I not been impatient, wished to give up and forsake everything; wished to take the terribly easy way out, despair: but thou didst not lose patience. Oh, I cannot say what thy chosen servant says: that he filled up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in his flesh; no, I can only say that I increased thy sufferings, added new ones to those which thou didst once suffer in order to save me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19035]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The brave are born from the brave and good.

The Voice of God is the most powerful force in nature, indeed the only force in nature, for all energy is here only because the power-filled Word is being spoken.
