He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one real object of education is to have a man in the condition of continually asking questions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13413]]></link><description><![CDATA[The one real object of education is to have a man in the condition of continually asking questions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because of the difficulties I am encountering in my movements to the detention center, the Americans offered me a place ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because of the difficulties I am encountering in my movements to the detention center, the Americans offered me a place to sleep.
