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[When someone is mean to me, I just make them a victim in my next book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65785]]></link><description><![CDATA[When someone is mean to me, I just make them a victim in my next book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Born in the garret, in the kitchen bred. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Born in the garret, in the kitchen bred.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speak little and well if you wish to be esteemed a person of merit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speak little and well if you wish to be esteemed a person of merit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will draw the curtain and show you the picture. -Twelfth Night.

It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lump the whole thing! say that the Creator made Italy from designs by Michel Angelo! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lump the whole thing! say that the Creator made Italy from designs by Michel Angelo!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love the giver more than the gift. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love the giver more than the gift.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can love someone so much...But you can never love people as much as you can miss them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65690]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can love someone so much...But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't ask the barber whether you need a haircut. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't ask the barber whether you need a haircut.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5886]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;  The chest contriv'd a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19622]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;  The chest contriv'd a double debt to pay,   A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It costs employers major money if employees leave their campus for extended periods of time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30435]]></link><description><![CDATA[It costs employers major money if employees leave their campus for extended periods of time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6943]]></link><description><![CDATA[God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illuminated by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder the source of which is beyond all reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6943</guid></item></channel></rss>
