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[What song the Syrens sang, or what name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11519]]></link><description><![CDATA[What song the Syrens sang, or what name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among women.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Albrecht's Law - Intelligent people, when assembled into an organization, will tend toward collective stupidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Albrecht's Law - Intelligent people, when assembled into an organization, will tend toward collective stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They take the paper and they read the headlines, So they've heard of unemployment and they've heard of breadlines, And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5736]]></link><description><![CDATA[They take the paper and they read the headlines, So they've heard of unemployment and they've heard of breadlines, And they philanthropically cure them all By getting up a costume charity ball.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm on the interstate, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41977]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm on the interstate,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where ambition can cover its enterprises, even to the person himself, under the appearance of principle, it is the most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where ambition can cover its enterprises, even to the person himself, under the appearance of principle, it is the most incurable and inflexible of passions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart has its reasons which the mind cannot comprehend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25799]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart has its reasons which the mind cannot comprehend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: Because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11123]]></link><description><![CDATA[For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:  And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle  It is impossible for a man to be a Christian without having Christ; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle  It is impossible for a man to be a Christian without having Christ; and if he has Christ he has at the same time all that is in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's fascinating that this is a campaign that is being driven by cheap tricks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39626]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's fascinating that this is a campaign that is being driven by cheap tricks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With this one I just want to make sure it was OK. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30711]]></link><description><![CDATA[With this one I just want to make sure it was OK.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Observe the opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Observe the opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Minds are like parachutes-- they only function when open.

Thomas Dewar  "Doublethink" means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. •George Orwell   The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. •Henri L. Bergson   Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out . . . People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts. •Eleanor H. Porter   The bigger a man's head gets, the easier it is to fill his shoes. •Henry Courtney   A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us. •Ralph Waldo Emerson   Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind. •Leonardo Da Vinci   A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye. •Carolyn Wells   Craftiness is a quality in the mind and a vice in the character. •S. Dubay   A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. •Winston Churchill   The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water. •Sigmund Freud   A feeble body weakens the mind. •Jean Jacques Rousseau   Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable. •Buckminster Fuller   A man's mind will very gradually refuse to make itself up until it is driven and compelled by emergency. •Anthony Trollope   We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe. •Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe   A mediocre mind thinks it writes divinely; a good mind thinks it writes reasonably. •Jean de LaBruyere   Just as our eyes need light in order to see, our minds need ideas in order to conceive. •Napoleon Hill   A nation that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan. •Martin Luther King, Jr.   A vacant mind invites dangerous inmates, as a deserted mansion tempts wandering outcasts to enter and take up their abode in its desolate apartments. •Nicholas Hilliard  A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind. •Eugene Ionesco   Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as you can change your beliefs. •Maxwell Maltz  Some minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set. •Source Unknown   The mind is a dangerous weapon, even to the possessor, if he knows not discreetly how to use it. •Michel de Montaigne  If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. •Lyall Watson  Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace. •Elbert Hubbard  The mind has exactly the same power as the hands: not merely to grasp the world, but to change it. •Colin Wilson   Mind unemployed is mind unenjoyed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes your enemy and your friend, working together to hurt you to the heart; the one to slander you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13816]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes your enemy and your friend, working together to hurt you to the heart; the one to slander you and the other to get the news to you]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to be on live TV with the prime minister.

And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence.
