Certainly Jeremiah was no integrated personality. It is doubtful if... he ever knew the meaning of the word "peace". We have no evidence that his internal struggle was ever ended, although the passing years no doubt brought an increasing acceptance of destiny. Jeremiah, if his "confessions" are any index, needed a course in pastoral psychiatry in the very worst way... The feeling cannot be escaped that if Jeremiah had been integrated, it would have been at the cost of ceasing to be Jeremiah! A man at peace simply could not be a Jeremiah. Spiritual health is good; mental assurance is good; but the summons of faith is neither to an integrated personality nor to the laying-by of all questions, but to the dedication of personality -- with all its fears and questions -- to its duty and destiny under God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neglected by Congress below, distressed with the small-pox;

And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the passing of this draft law, international cooperation in battling corruption and other transnational crimes will be made easier. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36227]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the passing of this draft law, international cooperation in battling corruption and other transnational crimes will be made easier.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is free at the moment he wishes to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ignorance wavers between extreme audacity and extreme shyness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ignorance wavers between extreme audacity and extreme shyness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing the truth, and telling it. -Unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing the truth, and telling it. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54614]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The number is certainly the cause.
