He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smile - It's the second best thing you can do with your lips. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smile - It's the second best thing you can do with your lips.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The intellectual man requires a fine bait; the sots are easily amused.

Ideology may well be defined as religion-substitute. The fact that religious faith expresses itself in the particular ideological forms current in any given period is no reason why we should confuse religion with ideology; and, even though it requires a penetrating and candid investigation to distinguish between the genuinely religious and the merely ideological elements in the outlook of a particular period or individual, this does not mean that religion itself is an aspect of ideology. The core of religious belief is not ideological, whatever may be said of the soft pulp in which it is wrapped up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8968]]></link><description><![CDATA[See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God gave women intuition and femininity.
