A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling.

If we are not fit to cope with that which He has prepared for us, we would have been utterly unfit for any condition that we imagine for ourselves. We are to live and wrestle in this time, and in no other. Let us humbly, tremblingly, manfully look at it, and we shall not wish that the sun could go back its ten degrees, or that we could go back with it. If easy times are departed, it is that the difficult times may make us more in earnest; that they may teach us not to depend on ourselves. If easy belief is impossible, it is that we may learn what belief is, and in whom it is to be placed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who pauses on the paths of treason, Halts on a quicksand, the first step engulfs him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59646]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who pauses on the paths of treason, Halts on a quicksand, the first step engulfs him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communism is a Christian heresy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Communism is a Christian heresy]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age should not have its face lifted, but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1797]]></link><description><![CDATA[Age should not have its face lifted, but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I 'll warrant him heart-whole. -As You Like It.

Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hotel guests have come to deserve a certain caliber of service and accommodations from Hyatt and we strive to continually ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42095]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hotel guests have come to deserve a certain caliber of service and accommodations from Hyatt and we strive to continually raise the bar.

The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross.
