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[It's the next step for someone like me who has come from small boats to try to make it into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30000]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the next step for someone like me who has come from small boats to try to make it into the America's Cup.

Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is one great art of conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is one great art of conversation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess we were all guilty, in a way.

The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers your scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll get some and take some home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33002]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll get some and take some home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things.
