It is a hard thing to break through a habit, and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet, if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles, how wilt thou overcome greater ones? Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties.

The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that we are is the result of what we have thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16291]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that we are is the result of what we have thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51151]]></link><description><![CDATA[He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The comforters head never akes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49819]]></link><description><![CDATA[The comforters head never akes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strike the iron whilst it is hot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strike the iron whilst it is hot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Using the Oval office to cheat on your wife makes you a bad husband and an irresponsible leader.
