He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the American public wants in the theater is a tragedy with a happy ending. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59547]]></link><description><![CDATA[What the American public wants in the theater is a tragedy with a happy ending.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Abrams described a historically significant episode that revealed how the medical establishment -not just the government- has upheld prohibition.] In ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33822]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Abrams described a historically significant episode that revealed how the medical establishment -not just the government- has upheld prohibition.] In 1997 after the law was changed in California, Jerome Kassirer, who was Editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, wrote an editorial on medical marijuana called 'federal foolishness,' saying 'We know this drug works, everybody has their anecdotal experience of people who have benefited from it, get over it, reschedule it, make it schedule 2.'
