It drives me crazy. We hear all the time from people who prefer the way our first records sounded, but if we had more money and time back then, we would have made them sound better.

Eccl. 12:6. When he understood it, he called for his friends, and told them of it. Then said he, I am going to my Father's; and though with great difficulty I have got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who will now be my rewarder. When the day that he must go hence was come, many accompanied him to the river-side, into which as he went, he said, "Death, where is thy sting?" And as he went down deeper, he said, "Grave, where is thy victory?" 1 Cor. 15:55. So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Access to information was really limited.

For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness depends upon ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness depends upon ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If someone were to prove to me -- right this minute -- that God, in all his luminousness, exists, it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53733]]></link><description><![CDATA[If someone were to prove to me -- right this minute -- that God, in all his luminousness, exists, it wouldn't change a single aspect of my behavior.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We aren't going to go out and support an opponent of the current governor and sully the name of teachers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34563]]></link><description><![CDATA[We aren't going to go out and support an opponent of the current governor and sully the name of teachers before a special session.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46768]]></link><description><![CDATA[In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To win without risk is to triumph without glory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54296]]></link><description><![CDATA[To win without risk is to triumph without glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.
