For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition often puts men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition often puts men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age wrinkles the body.

The shared life of the Christian community must become a context in which the differing gifts can be used for each other. There is much still to be learned about this. Are the homes of married Christians an added support for the single? Is the availability of the single Christian put at the disposal of his married friends, for "babysitting" duties and the like. And what is true of the mutual support of married and single needs to be true in a wider way of the care exercised by the married and the single for each other, so that nobody's home life becomes completely cut off from support and help.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blaming speculators as a response to financial crisis goes back at least to the Greeks.
