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[Stir up the hornets. [Fr., Irriter les freslons.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stir up the hornets. [Fr., Irriter les freslons.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're not given the chance that a lot of other children are given.

The Lion agreed to assist the Wild Ass with his strength, while the Wild Ass gave the Lion the benefit of his greater speed. When they had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion undertook to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. I will take the first share, he said, because I am King: and the second share, as a partner with you in the chase: and the third share (believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can. Might makes right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mighty Oak was once a little nut that stood its ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65551]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mighty Oak was once a little nut that stood its ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything yields to diligence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything yields to diligence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Could I come near your beauty with my nails, I 'd set my ten commandments in your face. -King Henry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Could I come near your beauty with my nails, I 'd set my ten commandments in your face. -King Henry VI.

We demand, as the apostle demanded, that he must hold fast the faithful word -- at least, so far as that he shall not write deliberate heresy in his examination papers, and shall profess belief in the Creed. We demand, as he demanded, that the candidate must be apt to teach -- at least, so far as an examination of his verbal memory can prove that he knows what he ought to teach. But there is some difference between the "without reproach" of the apostle and our testimonials; and there is a difference between the holding fast of the faith by a man tried in the furnace of life, and the soundness in the faith of a youth fresh from a theological school; and the aptness to teach of a man of experience and social authority is not quite the same thing as the aptness to teach of a young man who has just passed an examination in the subject-matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The imagination exercises a powerful influence over every act of sense, thought, reason, over every idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63293]]></link><description><![CDATA[The imagination exercises a powerful influence over every act of sense, thought, reason, over every idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8472]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neutrality, as a lasting principle, is an evidence of weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neutrality, as a lasting principle, is an evidence of weakness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're aware of the violations, they're aware we're following up on them and it looks like things are already starting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40423]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're aware of the violations, they're aware we're following up on them and it looks like things are already starting to improve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much room. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54288]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much room.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349   Lord Jesu, I ask Thee, give unto me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349   Lord Jesu, I ask Thee, give unto me movement in Thy love without measure; desire without limit; longing without order; burning without discretion.
