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[The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities.
