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 savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all 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/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to achieve immortality by being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one endof the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off andthen bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. Theypositioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking thearea and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every livingthing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armoredbattalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the trafficjams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedlysaid, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretchof road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for theInternational War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killedwere Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege ofKuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claimsthat no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguishbetween military personnel and civilians.*****The Guardian newspaper in the UK has written of the 9000Iraqis killed by the RAF bombs in 1920, one of the 6 timesBritish oil interests have violated the people of Iraq in thelast 86 years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5951]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Rechabite poor Will must live, And drink of Adam's ale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61300]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Rechabite poor Will must live, And drink of Adam's ale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The poor suffer twice at the rioter's hands.

How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
