A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read.

you endeavour, at all times, to keep your hearts in peace; that you may keep pure that temple of God. The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus neither the praise nor the blame is our own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus neither the praise nor the blame is our own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness.
