If our practical life is centered on our own interests, cluttered up by possessions, distracted by ambitions, passions, wants and worries, beset by a sense of our own rights and importance, or anxieties for our own future, or longings for our own success, we need not expect that our spiritual life will be a contrast to all this. 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[Most of the things the business people in the rich world wanted, they got in the Uruguay Round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of the things the business people in the rich world wanted, they got in the Uruguay Round.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A rising mass movement attracts and holds a following not by its doctrine and promises but by the refuge it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56861]]></link><description><![CDATA[A rising mass movement attracts and holds a following not by its doctrine and promises but by the refuge it offers from the anxieties, barrenness and meaningless of an individual existence.
