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[People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3671]]></link><description><![CDATA[People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As turning the logs will make a dull fire burn, so changes of studies a dull brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58039]]></link><description><![CDATA[As turning the logs will make a dull fire burn, so changes of studies a dull brain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British arguments, he has effectively done what the president asked him to do and forgotten that he should be arguing Britain's corner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one can ever defeat the Afghans(in Rambeau 3). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16703]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one can ever defeat the Afghans(in Rambeau 3).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a woman ceases to alter the fashion of her hair, you guess that she has passed the crisis of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42083]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a woman ceases to alter the fashion of her hair, you guess that she has passed the crisis of her experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like two single gentlemen rolled into one.   - George Colman ("The Younger"), ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like two single gentlemen rolled into one.   - George Colman ("The Younger"),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[ECCENTRICITY, n.

The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers your scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True friends stab you in the front. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65656]]></link><description><![CDATA[True friends stab you in the front.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is also this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal.
