Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You wake up but not really. In the bedroom you grew up in.

It's the only place on this entire planet that is yours. The only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare everytime you think about talking to anyone, scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. The way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "Mr. Misery"...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The feasant hens of Colchis, which have two ears as it were consisting of feathers, which they will set up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46448]]></link><description><![CDATA[The feasant hens of Colchis, which have two ears as it were consisting of feathers, which they will set up and lay down as they list.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are safer, the region is safer, the world is safer without Saddam. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36807]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are safer, the region is safer, the world is safer without Saddam.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But mine, and mine I loved, and mine I praised, And mine that I was proud on--mine so much  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18479]]></link><description><![CDATA[But mine, and mine I loved, and mine I praised, And mine that I was proud on--mine so much  That I myself was to myself not mine,   Valuing of her--why she, O, she is fall'n    Into a pit of ink, that the wide sea     Hath drops too few to wash her clean again,      And salt too little which may season give       To her foul tainted flesh!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had turnovers on five of six possessions against Old Mill.

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 we found out that they were going to close, we had to go out and find another supplier.

And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5226]]></link><description><![CDATA[History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The houses that are priced properly are selling.

We are to live and wrestle in this time, and in no other. Let us humbly, tremblingly, manfully look at it, and we shall not wish that the sun could go back its ten degrees, or that we could go back with it. If easy times are departed, it is that the difficult times may make us more in earnest; that they may teach us not to depend on ourselves. If easy belief is impossible, it is that we may learn what belief is, and in whom it is to be placed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to be more aggressive on the boards and deny their penetration.
