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[If all fooles wore white Caps, wee should seeme a flock of geese. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49507]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all fooles wore white Caps, wee should seeme a flock of geese.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To each his suff'rings; all are men, Condemn'd alike to groan;  The tender for another's pain,   Th' ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58198]]></link><description><![CDATA[To each his suff'rings; all are men, Condemn'd alike to groan;  The tender for another's pain,   Th' unfeeling for his own.    Yet ah! why should they know their fate,     Since sorrow never comes too late,      And happiness too swiftly flies?       Thought would destroy their paradise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/529]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief recommendation [in a young man] is modesty, then dutiful conduct toward parents, then affection for kindred. [Lat., Prima ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62568]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief recommendation [in a young man] is modesty, then dutiful conduct toward parents, then affection for kindred. [Lat., Prima commendiato proficiscitur a modestia tum pietate in parentes, tum in suos benevolentia.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This isn't right, this isn't even wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54874]]></link><description><![CDATA[This isn't right, this isn't even wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can shoot the tiger, or stay out of his way, but you cannot pronounce him a vegetarian. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56812]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can shoot the tiger, or stay out of his way, but you cannot pronounce him a vegetarian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The map is not the territory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21915]]></link><description><![CDATA[The map is not the territory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26573]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If she didn't have that sort of access, the outcomes could have been different as she went through the Games. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31221]]></link><description><![CDATA[If she didn't have that sort of access, the outcomes could have been different as she went through the Games.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm here to score a lot of goals.
