The suffering God is no vast cosmic force,  That by some blind, unthinking, loveless power  Keeps stars and atoms swinging in their course,  And reckons naught of men in this grim hour.  Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm looking forward to talking to Mike.

When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped. All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61108]]></link><description><![CDATA[A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were within one offense touchdown in the first half.

I suffered a mild depression... When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord's Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened... After many years of affirming God's existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2967]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Borders are semiporous.

A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When he spoke, what tender words he used!
