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[The moon is at her full, and riding high, Floods the calm fields with light.  The airs that hover ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43062]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moon is at her full, and riding high, Floods the calm fields with light.  The airs that hover in the summer sky   Are all asleep to-night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, hard work represents the supreme luxury of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15771]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me, hard work represents the supreme luxury of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then my dial goes not true; I look this lark for a bunting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then my dial goes not true; I look this lark for a bunting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24103</guid></item></channel></rss>
