When the soul has sincerely given itself up to God, He fills it with His own peace, a peace which makes all earthly things indifferent -- as before His Presence, absorbing the heart. It is our strength, our comfort, our guide, the deeper and more confirmed it becomes, the greater our spiritual perfection; so that in truth to obtain and preserve this peace is the real secret of the interior life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know, when they prove bad, they are a sort of the vilest creatures: yet still the same reason gives ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10193]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know, when they prove bad, they are a sort of the vilest creatures: yet still the same reason gives it: for Optima corrupta pessima: the best things corrupted become the worst.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I get into certain yoga positions at times, when I'm working out and for exercises.

And until we understand the Gospel, the good news about our brother-king -- until we understand Him, until we have His Spirit, promised so freely to them that ask it -- all the Epistles, the words of men who were full of Him, and wrote out of that fullness, who loved Him so utterly that by that very love they were lifted into the air of pure reason and right, and would die for Him, without two thoughts about it, in the very simplicity of no choice -- the Letters, I say, of such men are to us a sealed book. Until we love the Lord so as to do what He tells us, we have no right to an opinion about what one of those men meant; for all they wrote is about things beyond us. The simplest woman who tries not to judge her neighbor, or not to be anxious for the morrow, will better know what is best to know, than the best-read bishop without that one simple outgoing of his highest nature in the effort to do the will of Him who thus spoke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I quote others only in order the better to express myself. •Michel De Montaigne    Certain brief sentences ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52879]]></link><description><![CDATA[I quote others only in order the better to express myself. •Michel De Montaigne    Certain brief sentences are peerless in their ability to give one the feeling that nothing remains to be said. •Jean Rostand    I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A chief is a man who assumes responsibility.
