Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man can serve two masters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26229]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man can serve two masters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Swiftly our pleasures glide away, Our hearts recall the distant day  With many sighs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Swiftly our pleasures glide away, Our hearts recall the distant day  With many sighs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So from that spring, whence comfort seem'd to come, Discomfort swells. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51376]]></link><description><![CDATA[So from that spring, whence comfort seem'd to come, Discomfort swells.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63468]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are in some brown study. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58040]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are in some brown study.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind, relaxing into needful sport, Should turn to writers of an abler sort,  Whose wit well managed, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53004]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind, relaxing into needful sport, Should turn to writers of an abler sort,  Whose wit well managed, and whose classic style,   Give truth a lustre, and make wisdom smile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63044]]></link><description><![CDATA[A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66454]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66454</guid></item></channel></rss>
