It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. "The thoughtful soul to solitude retires," said the poet of other and quieter times; but where is the solitude to which we can retire today? "Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still," is a wise and healing counsel; but how can it be followed in this day of the newspaper, the telephone, the radio and television? These modern playthings, like pet tiger cubs, have grown so large and dangerous that they threaten to devour us all. What was intended to be a blessing has become a positive curse. No spot is now safe from the world's intrusion. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature made the fields and man the cities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51776]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature made the fields and man the cities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex is an emotion in motion ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sex is an emotion in motion]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a physician, Senator Frist has a moral calling to save lives and alleviate suffering.

And man would praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures; yea, man, though he bears about with him his mortality, the proof of his sin, the proof that Thou, O God, dost resist the proud, yet would man praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures. Thou dost prompt us thereto, making it a joy to praise Thee; for Thou hast created us unto Thyself, and our heart finds no rest until it rests in Thee. Grant me, O Lord, to know and understand which comes first, to call upon Thee, or to praise Thee, and which comes first, to know Thee or to call upon Thee.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    August 29, 1998  Instead of pursuing her appointed path of separation, persecution, world-hatred, poverty, and non-resistance, [the Church] has used... Scripture to justify her in lowering her purpose to the civilization of the world, the acquisition of wealth, the use of an imposing ritual, the erection of magnificent churches, the invocation of God's blessing upon the conflicts of armies, and the division of an equal brotherhood into "clergy" and "laity".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would be pure speculation at this point to say anything about the cause of the accident. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36629]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would be pure speculation at this point to say anything about the cause of the accident.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only religion is kindness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23794]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only religion is kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic is in the eye of the logician. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic is in the eye of the logician.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children are the keys of paradise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children are the keys of paradise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The development of the doctrine of international arbitration, considered from the standpoint of its ultimate benefits to the human race, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62238]]></link><description><![CDATA[The development of the doctrine of international arbitration, considered from the standpoint of its ultimate benefits to the human race, is the most vital movement of modern times.
