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[How various his employments whom the world Calls idle; and who justly in return  Esteems that busy world an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20332]]></link><description><![CDATA[How various his employments whom the world Calls idle; and who justly in return  Esteems that busy world an idler too!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47395]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be inequality in their actual position, and that the only way to place them in an equal position would be to treat them differently.

Not a saint, a thinker, a hero, or a martyr of the Church, but we claim a share in his character, influence and achievements, by confessing the debt we owe to the great tradition which he has enriched by saintly consecration, true thought, or noble conduct.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What your glasse telles you, will not be told by Councell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50058]]></link><description><![CDATA[What your glasse telles you, will not be told by Councell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22101]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no rational reason to doubt that the universe has existed indefinitely, for an infinite time.

They cannot believe that there is verily an unseen, mysterious power, till the world and all that is in it has vanished in the smoke of despair; till cause and effect are nothing to the intellect, and possible glories have faded from the imagination. Then, deprived of all that made life pleasant or hopeful, the immortal essence, lonely and wretched and unable to cease, looks up with its now unfettered and wakened instinct to the source of its own life -- to the possible God who, notwithstanding all the improbabilities of His existence, may yet perhaps be, and may yet perhaps hear His wretched creature that calls. In this loneliness of despair, life must find The Life: for joy is gone, and life is all that is left; it is compelled to seek its source, its root, its eternal life. This alone remains a possible thing. Strange condition of despair into which the Spirit of God drives a man -- a condition in which the Best alone is the Possible!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24386]]></link><description><![CDATA[For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would not listen to those who were wont to say the voice of the people is the voice of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52450]]></link><description><![CDATA[We would not listen to those who were wont to say the voice of the people is the voice of God, for the voice of the mob is near akin to madness. [Lat., Nec audiendi sunt qui solent dicere vox populi, vox dei; cum tumultus vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, always give your best.

To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it.
