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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a moderately fast-moving storm and will be out of here pretty much by Saturday, although there might be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32492]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a moderately fast-moving storm and will be out of here pretty much by Saturday, although there might be some lingering storms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and even if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53862]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and even if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot divine how it happens that the man who knows the least is the most argumentative. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44280]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot divine how it happens that the man who knows the least is the most argumentative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48059]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Playing baseball is not real life.
