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 only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry; we put our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58850]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry; we put our good temper down to ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never make a defense or an apology until you are accused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2711]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never make a defense or an apology until you are accused.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poor man who eats too much, as contradistinguished from a gourmand, who is a rich man who "lives well.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17589]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poor man who eats too much, as contradistinguished from a gourmand, who is a rich man who "lives well.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Not to admire, is all the art I know (Plain truth, dear Murray, needs few flowers of speech)  To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/606]]></link><description><![CDATA["Not to admire, is all the art I know (Plain truth, dear Murray, needs few flowers of speech)  To make men happy, or to keep them so."   (So take it in the very words of Creech)    Thus Horace wrote we all know long ago;     And thus Pope quotes the precept to re-teach      From his translation; but had none admired,       Would Pope have sung, or Horace been inspired?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our goal is always to hold the other team to 15 points or less.

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do something really bad the first time, and no one will ever think of asking you again ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do something really bad the first time, and no one will ever think of asking you again]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wisest of the wise may err. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28475]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wisest of the wise may err.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, 'tis slander, Whose edge is sharper than the sword, whose tongue  Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56550]]></link><description><![CDATA[No, 'tis slander, Whose edge is sharper than the sword, whose tongue  Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath   Rides on the posting winds and doth belie    All corners of the world.
