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[We must adopt loathsome diseases for our familiar associates, or we shall never be thoroughly acquainted with their nature and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38357]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must adopt loathsome diseases for our familiar associates, or we shall never be thoroughly acquainted with their nature and dispositions; we must risk, nay even injure, our own health in order to be able to preserve or restore that of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is such a secret place, the land of tears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64350]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is such a secret place, the land of tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By God, I cannot flatter, I do defy The tongues of soothers! but a braver place  In my heart's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16171]]></link><description><![CDATA[By God, I cannot flatter, I do defy The tongues of soothers! but a braver place  In my heart's love hath no man than yourself.   Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16798]]></link><description><![CDATA[I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If these few meters are not a problem, as they say, why don't they go back to the June 4, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29889]]></link><description><![CDATA[If these few meters are not a problem, as they say, why don't they go back to the June 4, 1967, line?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit  Beneath my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3547]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit  Beneath my shady roof; there thou mayest rest   And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,    And all the daughters of the year shall dance!     Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've often wished that I had clear, For life, six hundred pounds a year,  A handsome house to lodge ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61791]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've often wished that I had clear, For life, six hundred pounds a year,  A handsome house to lodge a friend,   A river at my garden's end,    A terrace walk, and half a rood     Of land, set out to plant a wood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62528</guid></item></channel></rss>
