It may be useful, too, to lay bare all the feelings, thoughts, and longings which are the result of your depression before some spiritual advisor, in all humility and faithfulness; to seek the society of spiritually minded people, and to frequent such as far as possible while you are suffering. And finally, resign yourself into God's hands, endeavoring to bear this harassing depression patiently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All mankind love a lover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63645]]></link><description><![CDATA[All mankind love a lover.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty antedates clothes and will be resumed when clothes are no more. Modesty died when clothes were born.  Modesty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty antedates clothes and will be resumed when clothes are no more. Modesty died when clothes were born.  Modesty died when false modesty was born.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think of myself as a comedian who has the pleasure of writing jokes about things that I actually care ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56730]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think of myself as a comedian who has the pleasure of writing jokes about things that I actually care about.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In life there are meetings which seem Like a fate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26813]]></link><description><![CDATA[In life there are meetings which seem Like a fate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The House shewes the owner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49876]]></link><description><![CDATA[The House shewes the owner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace begins with a smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace begins with a smile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lovers are fools, but Nature makes them so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lovers are fools, but Nature makes them so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most striking parts of the Day of Atonement is that of the scapegoat.

The high priest placed both his hands on the head of a goat and confessed all the sins of the nation. Then the goat carrying the sins of the people is sent off into the wilderness. But it is not just a piece of history!   There is in the modern world a quest for scapegoats though with one enormous difference. Whenever there is an accident or a tragedy, there is a search for someone to blame. Often all the modern means of communication join in; accusations, resignations, demands for compensation and the rest. If a guilty person is found, then an orgy of condemnation and vilification. Rarely a sense of, there but for the grace of God go I. Instead of dealing gently with one another's failure because of our own vulnerability to criticism, there is the presumption that we are in a fit condition to judge and to condemn.   The enormous difference? The original scapegoat followed a confession of the sins of the people. There was no blaming of someone else, but an admission of guilt and a quest for the forgiveness of God. The goat wasn't hated, but was a dramatic picture of the carrying away sins. It was the very opposite of a selfrighteous victimisation of someone else.   Ever since 200 A.D., Christians have seen the scapegoat as a picture of Jesus. As it was led out to die in the wilderness bearing the sins of the people, so he was crucified outside Jerusalem for our sins. We are to be both forgiven and forgiving people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can accept losing, you can't win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11786]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can accept losing, you can't win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching for what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching for what it gets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2623]]></link><description><![CDATA[When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The writer in western civilization has become not a voice of his tribe, but of his individuality.
