Pleasures and habits and social customs which seem permissible enough, are seen for the dangerous things they are when they are seen in the light of God. Things which seem evils, hardship, toil, discipline, unpopularity, even persecution, are seen in their glory when they are seen in the light of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now I wish I would have changed the decision in the second.
