The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26955]]></link><description><![CDATA[A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A City that parlies is half gotten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49007]]></link><description><![CDATA[A City that parlies is half gotten.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woes cluster; rare are solitary woes; They love a train, they tread each other's heel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woes cluster; rare are solitary woes; They love a train, they tread each other's heel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.

We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20124]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Melissa is a very versatile player.
