Many sorrows can be endured only by being embraced, and the pleasure taken in them naturally has a somewhat melancholy character. So, melancholy is morbid only when it occupies too much place in life; but it is equally morbid for it to be wholly excluded from life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that has satisfied his thirst turns his back on the well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18193]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that has satisfied his thirst turns his back on the well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Paris that brief flight allow, My humble tomb explore!  It bears: "Eternity, be thou   My refuge!" ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14085]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Paris that brief flight allow, My humble tomb explore!  It bears: "Eternity, be thou   My refuge!" and no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46359]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis said that wrath is the last thing in a man to grow old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28747]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis said that wrath is the last thing in a man to grow old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water its living strength first shows, When obstacles its course oppose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water its living strength first shows, When obstacles its course oppose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried in the ground. You pull and you pull, but you can't get the rock out of the ground. So you give it a good kick, but you lose your balance and go skidding down the hill toward the pool. Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty. He tells you to get out of there, but you start faking it, like you're talking Hawaiian, and then he gets mad and chases you...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The despair is so deep.

We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13981]]></link><description><![CDATA[I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While bright-eyed science watches round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54824]]></link><description><![CDATA[While bright-eyed science watches round.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A generation which ignores history has no past and no future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17127]]></link><description><![CDATA[A generation which ignores history has no past and no future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been one of the strongest park acquisition and open space tools local government has. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37160]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been one of the strongest park acquisition and open space tools local government has.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a pretty mocking of the life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54714]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a pretty mocking of the life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficulty, my brethren, is the nurse of greatness --a harsh nurse, who roughly rocks her foster-children into strength and athletic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficulty, my brethren, is the nurse of greatness --a harsh nurse, who roughly rocks her foster-children into strength and athletic proportion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May Moorland weavers boast Pindaric skill, And tailors' lays be longer than their bill!  While punctual beaux reward the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58559]]></link><description><![CDATA[May Moorland weavers boast Pindaric skill, And tailors' lays be longer than their bill!  While punctual beaux reward the grateful notes,   And pay for poems--when they pay for coats.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was surprised by the atmosphere in the stadium in Chicago.
