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[The cat, having sat upon a hot stove lid, will not sit upon a hot stove lid again.

He stared telling hes story, about the treasure and his life and all, and I thought: "This story isn't too long." But then, he kept going, and I started thinking, "Uh-oh, this story is getting long." But then the story was over, and I said to myself: "You know, that story wasn't too long after all." I forget what the story was about, but there was a good movie on the plane.

This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.

When we thus live wholly unto God, God is wholly ours and we are then happy in all the happiness of God; for by uniting with Him in heart, and will, and spirit, we are united to all that He is and has in Himself. This is the purity and perfection of life that we pray for in the Lord's Prayer, that God's kingdom may come and His will be done in us, as it is in Heaven. And this we may be sure is not only necessary, but attainable by us, or our Saviour would not have made it a part of our daily prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Positiveness is a good quality for preachers and speakers because, whoever shares his thoughts with the public will convince them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Positiveness is a good quality for preachers and speakers because, whoever shares his thoughts with the public will convince them as he himself appears convinced.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's basically to get the kids back from spring break and allow them to get the rust off.

But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn from history that we do not learn anything from history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28117]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn from history that we do not learn anything from history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think one wants lots of different lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37226]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think one wants lots of different lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Newman, with his clipped mustache and his whiskey-coated growl and his steely self-assurance, is an aristocrat of sleaze. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Newman, with his clipped mustache and his whiskey-coated growl and his steely self-assurance, is an aristocrat of sleaze.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is so critical that on every level, every individual becomes prepared. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28825]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is so critical that on every level, every individual becomes prepared.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The power and diversity of the Armed Forces, active Guard and Reserve, the resolve of our fellow citizens, the flexibility ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11829]]></link><description><![CDATA[The power and diversity of the Armed Forces, active Guard and Reserve, the resolve of our fellow citizens, the flexibility in our command to navigate international waters that remain troubled are all essential to our security.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52288]]></link><description><![CDATA[The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52288</guid></item></channel></rss>
