After a time he went to the daughter who had married the gardener, and inquired how she was and how all things went with her. She said, All things are prospering with me, and I have only one wish, that there may be a heavy fall of rain, in order that the plants may be well watered. Not long after, he went to the daughter who had married the tilemaker, and likewise inquired of her how she fared; she replied, I want for nothing, and have only one wish, that the dry weather may continue, and the sun shine hot and bright, so that the bricks might be dried. He said to her, If your sister wishes for rain, and you for dry weather, with which of the two am I to join my wishes?'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[America was targeted for attack because we are the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world, and no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60273]]></link><description><![CDATA[America was targeted for attack because we are the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world, and no one will keep that light from shining.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A conservative is someone who believes in reform.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The U.S. will continue to be our growth driver.
