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://maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Turn over a new leaf. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Turn over a new leaf.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday  The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is wholly practical; it is revealed to us, to discover to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday  The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is wholly practical; it is revealed to us, to discover to us our high origin and the greatness of our fall, and to show us the deep and profound operation of the triune God in the recovery of the divine life in our souls: that by the means of this mystery thus discovered, our piety may be rightly directed, our faith and prayer have their proper objects, [and] the workings and aspiring of our own hearts may cooperate and correspond with that triune life in the Deity, which is always desiring to manifest itself in us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I expect nothing.

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who first beholds the light of day In Spring's sweet flowery month of May  And wears an Emerald all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who first beholds the light of day In Spring's sweet flowery month of May  And wears an Emerald all her life,   Shall be a loved and happy wife.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went to the High School for Performing Arts, and to Howard University on a talent scholarship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29510]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went to the High School for Performing Arts, and to Howard University on a talent scholarship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius without education is like silver in the mine. -Ben Franklin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius without education is like silver in the mine. -Ben Franklin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a good strategic platform for taking off in the U.S.. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30170]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a good strategic platform for taking off in the U.S..]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one sure way to conciliate a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40224]]></link><description><![CDATA[The one sure way to conciliate a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  The deepest need of men is not food and clothing and shelter, important ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  The deepest need of men is not food and clothing and shelter, important as they are. It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important. But they lie farther along the road, secondary steps toward world reconstruction. The primary step is a holy life, transformed and radiant in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools-to-free-the-world, they go, Primeval hearts from Buffalo.  Red cataracts of France to-day   Awake, three thousand miles away, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools-to-free-the-world, they go, Primeval hearts from Buffalo.  Red cataracts of France to-day   Awake, three thousand miles away,    An echo of Niagara     The cataract of Niagara.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These impossible women!
