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[No legacy is so rich as honesty. -All 's Well that Ends Well.

Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58912]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A very important misconception is that some think we are a venture-capital firm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31363]]></link><description><![CDATA[A very important misconception is that some think we are a venture-capital firm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a vast difference between saying prayers and praying ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48030]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a vast difference between saying prayers and praying]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While Washington hath left His awful memory,  A light for after times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61254]]></link><description><![CDATA[While Washington hath left His awful memory,  A light for after times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61254</guid></item></channel></rss>
