It may be useful, too, to lay bare all the feelings, thoughts, and longings which are the result of your depression before some spiritual advisor, in all humility and faithfulness; to seek the society of spiritually minded people, and to frequent such as far as possible while you are suffering. And finally, resign yourself into God's hands, endeavoring to bear this harassing depression patiently.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am frightened at seeing all the footprints directed towards thy den, and none returning. [Lat., Quia ne vestigia terrent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15513]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am frightened at seeing all the footprints directed towards thy den, and none returning. [Lat., Quia ne vestigia terrent  Omnia te adversum spectantia, nulla retrosum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not taking any interest in politics.
