Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better… or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Columba, Abbot of Iona, Missionary, 597 Commemoration of Ephrem of Syria, Deacon, Hymnographer, Teacher, 373   If ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Columba, Abbot of Iona, Missionary, 597 Commemoration of Ephrem of Syria, Deacon, Hymnographer, Teacher, 373   If we would indeed know God in growing intimacy, we must go this way of renunciation. And if we are set upon the pursuit of God, He will sooner or later bring us to this test. Abraham's testing was, at the time, not known to him as such, yet if he had taken some course other than the one he did, the whole history off the Old Testament would have been different. God would have found His man, no doubt, but the loss to Abraham would have been tragic beyond the telling. So we will be brought one by one to the testing place, and we may never know when we are there. At that testing place there will be no dozen possible choices for us; just one and an alternative, but our whole future will be conditioned by the choice we make.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can observe a lot by just watching. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66855]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can observe a lot by just watching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And since the stench of death will always attract flies and vermin, the arrival of Geraldo was perhaps inevitable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58828]]></link><description><![CDATA[And since the stench of death will always attract flies and vermin, the arrival of Geraldo was perhaps inevitable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His form was of the manliest beauty, His heart was kind and soft,  Faithful, below, he did his duty; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14096]]></link><description><![CDATA[His form was of the manliest beauty, His heart was kind and soft,  Faithful, below, he did his duty;   But now he's gone aloft.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody,  I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody,  I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

Has it not been those who believed in you? Perhaps there may be few such left. The light of expectation may have died out of the most friendly and hopeful eyes; and you yourself may have lost heart. Ah! but there is still One whose faith in you has never wavered. And how wonderful it is that that one should be Jesus Christ!... It was a wonderful dream God dreamed, Christ says, when He created you; it was a stately being that was in His mind when you were fashioned; and I can make you all He meant that you should be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think it is very regrettable that shortly after the murder the North African community was immediately accused, certainly now ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35848]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think it is very regrettable that shortly after the murder the North African community was immediately accused, certainly now that it appears the culprits were not from that community.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ne'er take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ne'er take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many different voice and languages; but there is but one voice of the peoples when you are declared ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45797]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many different voice and languages; but there is but one voice of the peoples when you are declared to be the true "Father of your country." [Lat., Vox diversa sonat: populorum est vox tamen una,  Cum verus Patriae diceris esse Pater.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it doesn't happen, we'll simply have to interrupt the talks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33693]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it doesn't happen, we'll simply have to interrupt the talks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun,  It gives a light to every age,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54906]]></link><description><![CDATA[A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun,  It gives a light to every age,   It gives, but borrows none.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'd like everybody to come to celebrate her life.
