He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wait all these years to find someone who understands us, I thought, someone who accepts us as we are, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55070]]></link><description><![CDATA[We wait all these years to find someone who understands us, I thought, someone who accepts us as we are, someone with a wizard's power to melt stone to sunlight, who can bring us happiness in spite of trials, who can face our dragons in the night, who can transform us into the soul we choose to be.

Man, a child of God, is a person with a personal destiny and with eternal value. This Christian belief underlies the democratic principle that the State, first of all, exists for the sake of its citizens; the individual is important... As Christians we also believe that we are made for one another because we are made for God. "Solidarity" is a good word for our essential condition. Beneath all our differences is a unity... This Christian belief underlies a second basic democratic principle, which is, in governing themselves, people of a community -- in a town, a city, a state, a nation -- can, despite inevitable conflicts, press effectively toward the goal of justice and liberty for all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To pile up honey upon sugar, and sugar upon honey, to an interminable tedious sweetness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58490]]></link><description><![CDATA[To pile up honey upon sugar, and sugar upon honey, to an interminable tedious sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War with vices, but peace with individuals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50409]]></link><description><![CDATA[War with vices, but peace with individuals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes success is due less to ability than zeal.
