One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied.

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[But the standing toast that pleased me most Was, "The wind that blows, the ship that goes,  And the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59387]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the standing toast that pleased me most Was, "The wind that blows, the ship that goes,  And the lass that loves a sailor!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We probably dominated for 70 minutes out of 90 tonight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38426]]></link><description><![CDATA[We probably dominated for 70 minutes out of 90 tonight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56988]]></link><description><![CDATA[The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind.
