It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. "The thoughtful soul to solitude retires," said the poet of other and quieter times; but where is the solitude to which we can retire today? "Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still," is a wise and healing counsel; but how can it be followed in this day of the newspaper, the telephone, the radio and television? These modern playthings, like pet tiger cubs, have grown so large and dangerous that they threaten to devour us all. What was intended to be a blessing has become a positive curse. No spot is now safe from the world's intrusion. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parents: persons who spend half their time worrying how a child will turn out, and the rest of the time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parents: persons who spend half their time worrying how a child will turn out, and the rest of the time wondering when a child will turn in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were in the parking lot getting ready to walk in and everybody came running out and they said: `People ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32168]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were in the parking lot getting ready to walk in and everybody came running out and they said: `People are shooting!,']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where are the rough brave Britons to be found With Hearts of Oak, so much of old renowned? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where are the rough brave Britons to be found With Hearts of Oak, so much of old renowned?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19353]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1093]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A servile race Who, in mere want of fault, all merit place;  Who blind obedience pay to ancient schools, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10733]]></link><description><![CDATA[A servile race Who, in mere want of fault, all merit place;  Who blind obedience pay to ancient schools,   Bigots to Greece, and slaves to musty rules.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jody helps us out a lot, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jody helps us out a lot,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13168]]></link><description><![CDATA[He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't wait, ...
