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[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945  It is not experience of life but experience of the Cross that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945  It is not experience of life but experience of the Cross that makes one a worthy hearer of confessions. The most experienced psychologist or observer of human nature knows infinitely less of the human heart than the simplest Christian who lives beneath the Cross of Jesus. The greatest psychological insight, ability, and experience cannot grasp this one thing: what sin is. Worldly wisdom knows what distress and weakness and failure are, but it does not know the godlessness of men. And so it also does not know that man is destroyed only by his sin and can be healed only by forgiveness. Only the Christian knows this. In the presence of a psychiatrist I can only be a sick man; in the presence of a Christian brother, I can dare to be a sinner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Esquire, in a July, 1957 issue, has a photograph of me playing the French horn at the Five Spot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Esquire, in a July, 1957 issue, has a photograph of me playing the French horn at the Five Spot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was not dogma that moved the world, but life.

Frequently, when rival parties and rival nations fought with one another as to which of two opposed dogmas was the truth, they had been arrayed against one another by more deep-seated and vital causes, and merely inscribed at the last the dogmas on their standards or chose them as watchwords or symbols. We are tired of those elaborate discussions of the fine, wire-drawn, subtle distinctions between sects, and those elaborate discussions of the principles involved in heresies, and we desire to see the real differences in life and conduct receive more attention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blair not only disregards the millions of people in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he does not care about you as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blair not only disregards the millions of people in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he does not care about you as he sends you to the inferno in Iraq and exposes you to death in your land because of his crusader war against Islam.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The use of money is all the advantage there is in having money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61460]]></link><description><![CDATA[The use of money is all the advantage there is in having money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64900]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition. . -Carl Sagan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55068]]></link><description><![CDATA[The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition. . -Carl Sagan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11118]]></link><description><![CDATA[I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Force is not a remedy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Force is not a remedy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've directed traditional operas and it's been wonderful.

One of them was young, and the other well advanced in years. The elder woman, ashamed to be courted by a man younger than herself, made a point, whenever her admirer visited her, to pull out some portion of his black hairs. The younger, on the contrary, not wishing to become the wife of an old man, was equally zealous in removing every gray hair she could find. Thus it came to pass that between them both he very soon found that he had not a hair left on his head. Those who seek to please everybody please nobody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The other home run, that was a legit home run.
