Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them: show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.  If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is one of the sinews of the Soul; he that wants it hath a maimed mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is one of the sinews of the Soul; he that wants it hath a maimed mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evening praises the day, and the morning a frost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49838]]></link><description><![CDATA[The evening praises the day, and the morning a frost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22246]]></link><description><![CDATA[To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it -- who can say this is not greatness?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The looming threat of a global influenza pandemic demands global, regional and national attention, and preparation and response to a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28824]]></link><description><![CDATA[The looming threat of a global influenza pandemic demands global, regional and national attention, and preparation and response to a pandemic is a shared responsibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't you realize that as long as you have to sit down to pee, you'll never be a dominant force ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't you realize that as long as you have to sit down to pee, you'll never be a dominant force in the world?

That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item></channel></rss>
