Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66354]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57103]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no such thing as truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bible may be the truth, but it is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53622]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Bible may be the truth, but it is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went to the root of things, and found nothing but Him alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53581]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went to the root of things, and found nothing but Him alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And wer't not madness then To make the fox surveyor of the fold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51312]]></link><description><![CDATA[And wer't not madness then To make the fox surveyor of the fold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cellar Roots is not just for art and writing majors at EMU.

The corollary is that damnation or hell, is the permanent choice of the not-God. God does not (in the monstrous old-fashioned phrase) "send" anybody to hell; hell is that state of the soul in which its choice becomes obdurate and fixed; the punishment (so to call it) of that soul is to remain eternally in that State which it has chosen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A few stations are going to be out for a few hours, maybe a day, but they will get their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40915]]></link><description><![CDATA[A few stations are going to be out for a few hours, maybe a day, but they will get their deliveries and there'll plenty of gas for motorists in our region.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The question "Who ought to be boss?" is like as "Who ought to be the tenor in the quartet?"
