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[Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60342]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the adulation of life is gone, the coward sneaks to his death, but the brave live on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10520]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the adulation of life is gone, the coward sneaks to his death, but the brave live on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No great thing is created suddenly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10556]]></link><description><![CDATA[No great thing is created suddenly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man's "magic" is another man's engineering.
