When the soul has sincerely given itself up to God, He fills it with His own peace, a peace which makes all earthly things indifferent -- as before His Presence, absorbing the heart. It is our strength, our comfort, our guide, the deeper and more confirmed it becomes, the greater our spiritual perfection; so that in truth to obtain and preserve this peace is the real secret of the interior life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rose were sette of swete savour, With many roses that thei bere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rose were sette of swete savour, With many roses that thei bere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11821]]></link><description><![CDATA[The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I fight fairly, and in good faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63988]]></link><description><![CDATA[I fight fairly, and in good faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you think means more than anything else in your life.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few personsnearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gaudy, blabbing, and remorseful day Is crept into the bosom of the sea. -King Henry VI.
