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[So shall they build me altars in their zeal, Where knaves shall minister, and fools shall kneel:  Where faith ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62315]]></link><description><![CDATA[So shall they build me altars in their zeal, Where knaves shall minister, and fools shall kneel:  Where faith may mutter o'er her mystic spell,   Written in blood--and Bigotry may swell    The sail he spreads for Heav'n with blasts from hell!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain-tops. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain-tops.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . for righteous monarchs, Justly to judge, with their own eyes should see;  To rule o'er freemen, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16664]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . for righteous monarchs, Justly to judge, with their own eyes should see;  To rule o'er freemen, should themselves be free.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius, like humanity, rusts for want of use. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius, like humanity, rusts for want of use.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52609]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thing we long for, that we are For one transcendent moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11954]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thing we long for, that we are For one transcendent moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With this technology, we can now begin to gather reliable information on the movements, home range, and habitat of wolverines ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39744]]></link><description><![CDATA[With this technology, we can now begin to gather reliable information on the movements, home range, and habitat of wolverines in the Pacific Northwest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trick is in what one emphasizes.
