The masses teeming and happy -- common clay, if you like -- eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead. And then there are the others -- the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it happened to us here in Wethersfield, ...

This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66543]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In marriage, as in war, it is permitted to take every advantage of the enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28070]]></link><description><![CDATA[In marriage, as in war, it is permitted to take every advantage of the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True thanksgiving means that we need to thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18187]]></link><description><![CDATA[True thanksgiving means that we need to thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell Him what we have done for Him. -.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hey, I just sent you an email... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hey, I just sent you an email...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm happy to be here.
