Certainly Jeremiah was no integrated personality. It is doubtful if... he ever knew the meaning of the word "peace". We have no evidence that his internal struggle was ever ended, although the passing years no doubt brought an increasing acceptance of destiny. Jeremiah, if his "confessions" are any index, needed a course in pastoral psychiatry in the very worst way... The feeling cannot be escaped that if Jeremiah had been integrated, it would have been at the cost of ceasing to be Jeremiah! A man at peace simply could not be a Jeremiah. Spiritual health is good; mental assurance is good; but the summons of faith is neither to an integrated personality nor to the laying-by of all questions, but to the dedication of personality -- with all its fears and questions -- to its duty and destiny under God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accursed thirst for gold! what dost thou not compel mortals to do? [Lat., Quid non mortalia pectora cogis,  Auri ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accursed thirst for gold! what dost thou not compel mortals to do? [Lat., Quid non mortalia pectora cogis,  Auri sacra fames?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have stuck their hands into a hornet's nest.

Standing on a projecting rock, he played several tunes in the hope that the fish, attracted by his melody, would of their own accord dance into his net, which he had placed below. At last, having long waited in vain, he laid aside his flute, and casting his net into the sea, made an excellent haul of fish. When he saw them leaping about in the net upon the rock he said: O you most perverse creatures, when I piped you would not dance, but now that I have ceased you do so merrily.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many men kill themselves for love, but many more women die of it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many men kill themselves for love, but many more women die of it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gineral C. is a dreffle smart man: He's been on all sides that give places or pelf;  But consistency ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gineral C. is a dreffle smart man: He's been on all sides that give places or pelf;  But consistency still wuz a part of his plan;   He's been true to one party, and that is, himself;--    So John P.     Robinson, he      Sez he shall vote for Gineral C.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With hand on the spade and heart in the sky Dress the ground and till it;  Turn in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62085]]></link><description><![CDATA[With hand on the spade and heart in the sky Dress the ground and till it;  Turn in the little seed, brown and dry,   Turn out the golden millet.    Work, and your house shall be duly fed:     Work, and rest shall be won;      I hold that a man had better be dead       Than alive when his work is done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge and human power are synonymous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge and human power are synonymous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It could have been a real nasty situation.
