If our practical life is centered on our own interests, cluttered up by possessions, distracted by ambitions, passions, wants and worries, beset by a sense of our own rights and importance, or anxieties for our own future, or longings for our own success, we need not expect that our spiritual life will be a contrast to all this. The soul's house is not built on such a convenient plan; there are few soundproof partitions in it. Only when the conviction -- not merely the idea -- that the demand of the Spirit, however inconvenient, rules the whole of it, will those objectionable noises die down which have a way of penetrating into the nicely furnished little oratory and drowning all the quieter voices by their din.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well.

It was wonderful to touch one of them and think, Perhaps the Apostle Paul or one of the martyrs touched this as they passed. But how much more wonderful is it to think that we have, for our own use, the very same sword our Lord used when the Devil attacked Him. [Brooke Foss] Westcott says "the Word of God" in Ephesians 6:17 means "a definite utterance of God". We know these "definite utterances" -- we have the same Book that He had, and we can do as He did. So let us learn the "definite utterances" that they may be ready in our minds; ready for use at the moment of need -- our sword which never grows dull and rusty, but is always keen and bright. So once more I say, let us not expect defeat but victory. Let us take fast hold and keep fast hold of our sword, and we shall win in any assault of the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is just part of the big picture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is just part of the big picture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18050]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to say, Like People like Government.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn't surprised, we got a good football team.
