If we are not fit to cope with that which He has prepared for us, we would have been utterly unfit for any condition that we imagine for ourselves. We are to live and wrestle in this time, and in no other. Let us humbly, tremblingly, manfully look at it, and we shall not wish that the sun could go back its ten degrees, or that we could go back with it. If easy times are departed, it is that the difficult times may make us more in earnest; that they may teach us not to depend on ourselves. If easy belief is impossible, it is that we may learn what belief is, and in whom it is to be placed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carroll Dawson has served this organization very well over the past 26 years, and he will continue to be a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Carroll Dawson has served this organization very well over the past 26 years, and he will continue to be a very useful resource for many years to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions.

In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As man, perhaps, the moment of his breath, Receives the lurking principle of death,  The younger disease, that must ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12494]]></link><description><![CDATA[As man, perhaps, the moment of his breath, Receives the lurking principle of death,  The younger disease, that must subdue at length,   Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've watched Ginn a lot, and I'm not sure I've seen a faster player in pads.
