It is a hard thing to break through a habit, and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet, if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles, how wilt thou overcome greater ones? Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties. Oh, if thou knewest what peace to thyself thy holy life should bring, ... and what joy to others, methinketh thou wouldst be more zealous for spiritual profit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Popular Applause! what heart of man Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2921]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Popular Applause! what heart of man Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tempest threatens before it comes; houses creak before they fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51196]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tempest threatens before it comes; houses creak before they fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's feet must be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45844]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's feet must be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary Concluding a Lenten series on prayer:  Prayer is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary Concluding a Lenten series on prayer:  Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like a fair house, built on another man's ground. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.
