If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8863]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This, this is misery! the last, the worst, That man can feel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42760]]></link><description><![CDATA[This, this is misery! the last, the worst, That man can feel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not despise all those who have vices, but we despise all those who have not a single virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60503]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not despise all those who have vices, but we despise all those who have not a single virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such a blush In the midst of brown was born,  Like red poppies grown with corn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4382]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such a blush In the midst of brown was born,  Like red poppies grown with corn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we did everything tonight but win on the scoreboard.
