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[Most of us ask for advice when we know the answer but we want a different one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of us ask for advice when we know the answer but we want a different one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that blowes in the dust fills his eyes with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that blowes in the dust fills his eyes with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to achieve immortality by being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
