This losing of things is the mercy of God: it comes to teach us to let them go. Or have I forgotten a thought that came to me, which seemed of the truth? I keep trying and trying to call it back, feeling a poor man until that thought be recovered -- to be far more lost, perhaps, in a notebook into which I shall never look again to find it! I forget that it is live things that God cares about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm treating you as a friend asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63330]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm treating you as a friend asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask you to share my future pluses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to avoid a property owner using sewer availability as leverage to get more units with the county. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35407]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to avoid a property owner using sewer availability as leverage to get more units with the county.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Desiring things widely different for their various tastes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Desiring things widely different for their various tastes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many young people carrying real or imitation firearms do so in a mistaken attempt to either boost their image, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many young people carrying real or imitation firearms do so in a mistaken attempt to either boost their image, or from a misguided idea about self-protection.

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[That possession was the strongest tenure of the law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47754]]></link><description><![CDATA[That possession was the strongest tenure of the law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There never was a good war, or a bad peace. -Benjamin Franklin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45988]]></link><description><![CDATA[There never was a good war, or a bad peace. -Benjamin Franklin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems.
