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[Some flowers of Eden ye yet inherit, But the trail of the serpent is over them all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50677]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some flowers of Eden ye yet inherit, But the trail of the serpent is over them all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that you want to find a solution that the Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and harmony. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40142]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know that you want to find a solution that the Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and harmony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We see it as a trusted traveler program. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29340]]></link><description><![CDATA[We see it as a trusted traveler program.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When poverty comes in at doors, love leaps out at windows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25742]]></link><description><![CDATA[When poverty comes in at doors, love leaps out at windows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes gentle, sometimes capricious, sometimes awful, never the same for two months together; almost human in its passions, almost spiritual ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes gentle, sometimes capricious, sometimes awful, never the same for two months together; almost human in its passions, almost spiritual in its tenderness, almost Divine in its infinity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27457]]></link><description><![CDATA[The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get mad, then get over it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2625]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get mad, then get over it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once they get their hooks into you, you're a dead pigeon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once they get their hooks into you, you're a dead pigeon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep high aspirations, moderate expectations and small needs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep high aspirations, moderate expectations and small needs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literalism gets its name from its insistence that what we find in the Bible is not just the Word of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literalism gets its name from its insistence that what we find in the Bible is not just the Word of God but the very words of God. The distinction is of tremendous importance. The phrase "Word of God" as used in the Bible itself, notably in the opening sentences of the Fourth Gospel, is an English translation of a Greek word, Logos, which was in wide use among philosophers at the time the New Testament was written. It connotes the creative, outgoing, self-revealing activity of God. The Logos was not a particular divine utterance, but God's overall message to mankind. It was not necessarily communicated verbally in speech or writing. Indeed, the whole point of Christianity is that the supreme communication of the Word took place when it was expressed through a human life and personality in Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61164]]></link><description><![CDATA[In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to admit it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to admit it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16936]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone; one should keep his friendships in constant repair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12609]]></link><description><![CDATA[My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43932]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft; a certain free-margin, and even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exactly, they just get some bands and say, This is the future of rock-and- roll, this band, and then they're ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exactly, they just get some bands and say, This is the future of rock-and- roll, this band, and then they're everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bare assertion is not necessarily the naked truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59852]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bare assertion is not necessarily the naked truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I once saw a forklift lift a crate of forks.
