It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frigthened. -Robert C.

This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A physician is nothing but a consoler of the mind. [Lat., Medicus nihil aliud est quam animi consolatio.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26704]]></link><description><![CDATA[A physician is nothing but a consoler of the mind. [Lat., Medicus nihil aliud est quam animi consolatio.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn the art of patience.
