The Stoics tried the hopeless little game of denying its objective reality, or of declaring it a good in itself (which it never is); and the Pessimists attempted to revel in it, as a food to their melancholy, and as something that can no more be transformed than it can be avoided or explained. But Christ came, and He did not really explain it; He did far more: He met it, willed it, transformed it; and He taught us to do all this -- or, rather, He Himself does it within us, if we do not hinder the all-healing hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a bold mouse that nestles in the catts eare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49567]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a bold mouse that nestles in the catts eare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is the child of audacity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is the child of audacity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason we feel hurt and anger when things and people outside us letus down is because we believe those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21447]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason we feel hurt and anger when things and people outside us letus down is because we believe those things and people shouldn't.

Has it not been those who believed in you? Perhaps there may be few such left. The light of expectation may have died out of the most friendly and hopeful eyes; and you yourself may have lost heart. Ah! but there is still One whose faith in you has never wavered. And how wonderful it is that that one should be Jesus Christ!...
