A grievance is most poignant when almost redressed. De Tocqueville in his researches into the state of society in France before the revolution was struck by the discovery that "in no one of the periods which have followed the Revolution of 1789 has the national prosperity of France augmented more rapidly than it did in the twenty years preceding that event." He is forced to conclude that "the French found their position the more intolerable the better it became.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot come to honour under Coverlet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50044]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot come to honour under Coverlet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an unconstitutional partnership with the state, the church can impose the most irresistible, if covert, controls conceivable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64118]]></link><description><![CDATA[In an unconstitutional partnership with the state, the church can impose the most irresistible, if covert, controls conceivable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind is for seeing, the heart is for hearing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19000]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind is for seeing, the heart is for hearing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29755]]></link><description><![CDATA[The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people should ever start to do only what is necessary millions would die of hunger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44072]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people should ever start to do only what is necessary millions would die of hunger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium.

And Saint Paul, speaking of those that die with Christ, that they may live no longer to themselves, but to Him that died for them, does not mean this of monks only, but of Christians universally.  ... The Colloquies of Erasmus July 13, 1999  Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward to you will be the spirit of giving more: a blessed spirit, for it is the Spirit of God Himself, whose Life is the blessedness of giving. Love, and God will pay you with the capacity of more love; for love is Heaven: love is God within you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She not only expects the worst, but makes the worst of it when it happens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42510]]></link><description><![CDATA[She not only expects the worst, but makes the worst of it when it happens.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have only two pennies left in the world, with the first penny, you should buy rice to feed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65591]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have only two pennies left in the world, with the first penny, you should buy rice to feed your family.

For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vertex shares are once again challenging our price target and with the stock up 250% over the past year, investors ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vertex shares are once again challenging our price target and with the stock up 250% over the past year, investors may be asking what to do with the stock.

It may come when we least expect it; it will probably come after a period of darkness, fierce contention, utter disbelief.
