Faith says not, "I see that it is good for me, so God must have sent it," but, "God sent it, and so it must be good for me."

That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The weakest goeth to the wall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61329]]></link><description><![CDATA[The weakest goeth to the wall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tears are words the heart can't express ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15546]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tears are words the heart can't express]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is real!

He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7506</guid></item></channel></rss>
