Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom.

When the soul has sincerely given itself up to God, He fills it with His own peace, a peace which makes all earthly things indifferent -- as before His Presence, absorbing the heart. It is our strength, our comfort, our guide, the deeper and more confirmed it becomes, the greater our spiritual perfection; so that in truth to obtain and preserve this peace is the real secret of the interior life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was one of those cheesy model-type things where we had to walk across a runway like a piece of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41897]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was one of those cheesy model-type things where we had to walk across a runway like a piece of meat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63998]]></link><description><![CDATA[The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If only the net was just a little wider.

Surrendering your head to your heart in those moments will lead you to balance and fulfillment. As you listen to your spirit, peace follows. So follow your spirit. Build your foundation in your heart. Love must be your innermost and spontaneous response towards every person you encounter. Say to yourself inside, "I just love." Use these words as a key to start the engine running in your heart and watch life brighten with new love and understanding. Surrender to your new awareness and let love unfold the purpose of creation to you. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["In innocence there is no strength against evil," said Sparrowhawk, a little wryly.
