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[[Oxford] Home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs and unpopular names and impossible loyalties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14910]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Oxford] Home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs and unpopular names and impossible loyalties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The day are ever divine as to the first Aryans.

Some followers of the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannnot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and Man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In going abroad we change the climate not our dispositions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50272]]></link><description><![CDATA[In going abroad we change the climate not our dispositions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average person thinks he isn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59243]]></link><description><![CDATA[The average person thinks he isn't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy always came after pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy always came after pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is the denial of reality. - Dragons of Winter Night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22146]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is the denial of reality. - Dragons of Winter Night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis gold Which buys admittance--oft it doth--yea, and makes  Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up   This deer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4910]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis gold Which buys admittance--oft it doth--yea, and makes  Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up   This deer to th' stand o' th' stealer: and 'tis gold    Which makes the true man kill'd and saves the thief,     Nay, sometimes hangs both thief and true man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66296]]></link><description><![CDATA[The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do what you should, not what you may. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do what you should, not what you may.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you believe everything you read, better not read. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51877]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you believe everything you read, better not read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to make God laugh, tell him your future plans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63326]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to make God laugh, tell him your future plans.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though it be honest, it is never good To bring bad news; give to a gracious message  An host ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though it be honest, it is never good To bring bad news; give to a gracious message  An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell   Themselves when they be felt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise.

Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.
