Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou lookest on the lime-leaf, Thou a heart's form will discover;  Therefore are the lindens ever   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25118]]></link><description><![CDATA[If thou lookest on the lime-leaf, Thou a heart's form will discover;  Therefore are the lindens ever   Chosen seats of each fond lover.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We weren't able despite all efforts to reach solutions that would satisfy everyone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36211]]></link><description><![CDATA[We weren't able despite all efforts to reach solutions that would satisfy everyone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine is bottled poetry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine is bottled poetry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The descent to the infernal regions is easy enough, but to retrace one's steps, and reach the air above, there's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51827]]></link><description><![CDATA[The descent to the infernal regions is easy enough, but to retrace one's steps, and reach the air above, there's the rub.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2019]]></link><description><![CDATA[One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me.

Let the princes hear and be afraid. But we must, in the meantime, be very careful not to despise or violate that authority of magistrates, full of venerable majesty, which God has established by the weightiest decrees, even though it may reside with the most unworthy men, who defile it as much as they can with their own wickedness. For, if the correction of unbridled despotism is the Lord's to avenge, let us not at once think that it is entrusted to us, to whom no command has been given except to obey and suffer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanisms of the universe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24912]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanisms of the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The system of heroism depends on women to be weak so men can be strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63928]]></link><description><![CDATA[The system of heroism depends on women to be weak so men can be strong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly.
