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 savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all 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/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With this there grows In my most ill-compos'd affection such  A stanchless avarice that, were I King,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20164]]></link><description><![CDATA[With this there grows In my most ill-compos'd affection such  A stanchless avarice that, were I King,   I should cut off the nobles for their lands,    Desire his jewels, and this other's house,     And my more-having would be as a sauce      To make me hunger more, that I should forge       Quarrels unjust against the good and loyal,        Destroying them for wealth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn from history that we do not learn anything from history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28117]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn from history that we do not learn anything from history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The overall strategy over the next five years is to gain control of the border. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37281]]></link><description><![CDATA[The overall strategy over the next five years is to gain control of the border.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give no bounties:  make equal laws: secure life and prosperity and you need not give alms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give no bounties:  make equal laws: secure life and prosperity and you need not give alms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt and control them.
