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[If you are afraid of loneliness, do not marry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64608]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are afraid of loneliness, do not marry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are glimpses of heaven to us in every act, or thought, or word, that raises us above ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64359]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are glimpses of heaven to us in every act, or thought, or word, that raises us above ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gavin creates a nice link between last year's squad and what we are doing this year.
