Our danger lies in resisting Him; so it is essential that we acquire the habit of hearkening to His voice, or keeping silence within, and listening so as to lose nothing of what He says to us. We know well enough how to keep outward silence, and to hush our spoken words, but we know little of interior silence. It consists in hushing our idle, restless, wandering imagination, in quieting the promptings of our worldly minds, and in suppressing the crowd of unprofitable thoughts which excite and disturb the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8472]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Canada is the essence of not being.

He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to progress is prejudice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21878]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to progress is prejudice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The king himself has follow'd her When she has walk'd before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/609]]></link><description><![CDATA[The king himself has follow'd her When she has walk'd before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone's a pacifist between wars.

The meditations are not clear to us until the mouth utters its words. If what the mouth utters is unclear or foolish or mendacious, it must be that the meditations are the same. But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become the meditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of our understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Limited in his nature, infinite in his desires.
