The soul's house is not built on such a convenient plan; there are few soundproof partitions in it. Only when the conviction -- not merely the idea -- that the demand of the Spirit, however inconvenient, rules the whole of it, will those objectionable noises die down which have a way of penetrating into the nicely furnished little oratory and drowning all the quieter voices by their din.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books have always a secret influence on the understanding; we cannot at pleasure obliterate ideas: he that reads books of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books have always a secret influence on the understanding; we cannot at pleasure obliterate ideas: he that reads books of science, though without any desire fixed of improvement, will grow more knowing; he that entertains himself with moral or religious treatises, will imperceptibly advance in goodness; the ideas which are often offered to the mind, will at last find a lucky moment when it is disposed to receive them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Humph!' grunted Mr. Romford, seeing his worst fears about to be realized.
