The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A small family is soon provided for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27196]]></link><description><![CDATA[A small family is soon provided for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The function of socialism is to raise suffering to a higher level. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47493]]></link><description><![CDATA[The function of socialism is to raise suffering to a higher level.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However, we are not setting a new higher hurdle here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41739]]></link><description><![CDATA[However, we are not setting a new higher hurdle here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God; for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not only the living who are killed in war.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64356]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not only the living who are killed in war.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has to be tough because it changes the routine, the lifestyle the players are accustomed to.
