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[Gardening is not a rational act. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gardening is not a rational act.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Find your horse.

From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,  Much pleasure, then from thee much more, must flow,  And soonest our best men with thee do go,  Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,  And poppy, or charms, can make us sleep as well,  And better than thy stroke. Why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally,  And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The college idealists who fill the ranks of the environmental movement seem willing to do absolutely anything to save the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47206]]></link><description><![CDATA[The college idealists who fill the ranks of the environmental movement seem willing to do absolutely anything to save the biosphere, except take science courses and learn something about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November;  All the rest have thirty-one   Excepting February alone:  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November;  All the rest have thirty-one   Excepting February alone:    Which hath but twenty-eight, in fine,     Till lap year gives it twenty-nine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is the #1 cause of insanity among those who are in contact with it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is the #1 cause of insanity among those who are in contact with it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was cooking breakfast this morning for my kids, and I thought, "He's (Ronald Reagan) just like a Teflon frying ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10153]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was cooking breakfast this morning for my kids, and I thought, "He's (Ronald Reagan) just like a Teflon frying pan: Nothing sticks to him]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business has only two functions - marketing and innovation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Business has only two functions - marketing and innovation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A corrupt judge does not carefully search for the truth. [Lat., Male verum examinat omnis  Corruptus judex.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23501]]></link><description><![CDATA[A corrupt judge does not carefully search for the truth. [Lat., Male verum examinat omnis  Corruptus judex.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't care what they call me as long as they mention my name. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52484]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't care what they call me as long as they mention my name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (Christian) "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12620]]></link><description><![CDATA[The (Christian) "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The friendships which last are those wherein each friend respects the other's dignity to the point of not really wanting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12266]]></link><description><![CDATA[The friendships which last are those wherein each friend respects the other's dignity to the point of not really wanting anything from him]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're pretty much on schedule, ...
