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[Strength and honor are her clothing: and she shall rejoice in time to come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strength and honor are her clothing: and she shall rejoice in time to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think you I bear the shears of destiny? Have I commandment on the pulse of life? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think you I bear the shears of destiny? Have I commandment on the pulse of life?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47373]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pentiums melt in your PC, not in your hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9414]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pentiums melt in your PC, not in your hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither rhyme nor reason. -As You Like It.

Christ stated emphatically that it was quite impossible, in the nature of things, for a man to be at peace with God and at variance with his neighbor.
