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[I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43575]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The qualities of an exceptional cook are akin to those of a successful tightrope walker: an abiding passion for the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The qualities of an exceptional cook are akin to those of a successful tightrope walker: an abiding passion for the task, courage to go out on a limb and an impeccable sense of balance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10148</guid></item></channel></rss>
