You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something.

There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O beautiful rainbow;--all woven of light! There's not in thy tissue one shadow of night;  Heaven surely is open ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52947]]></link><description><![CDATA[O beautiful rainbow;--all woven of light! There's not in thy tissue one shadow of night;  Heaven surely is open when thou dost appear.   And, bending thee above, the angels draw near,    And sing,--"The rainbow! the rainbow!     The smile of God is here."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59730]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a game that two can play and both win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a game that two can play and both win.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25868</guid></item></channel></rss>
