Our danger lies in resisting Him; so it is essential that we acquire the habit of hearkening to His voice, or keeping silence within, and listening so as to lose nothing of what He says to us. We know well enough how to keep outward silence, and to hush our spoken words, but we know little of interior silence. It consists in hushing our idle, restless, wandering imagination, in quieting the promptings of our worldly minds, and in suppressing the crowd of unprofitable thoughts which excite and disturb the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even if you don't like a concert of mine, please, please applaud at the end anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if you don't like a concert of mine, please, please applaud at the end anyway.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quite frankly, [the bid process] is as intense as any pursuit of a telecom contract I've ever been through representing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quite frankly, [the bid process] is as intense as any pursuit of a telecom contract I've ever been through representing BellSouth,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That guy has been a rock all year and I don't have to think twice about his game.

But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it was reported to General Washington that the army was frequently indulging in swearing, he immediately sent out the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60294]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it was reported to General Washington that the army was frequently indulging in swearing, he immediately sent out the following order: The general is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing — a vice little known heretofore in the American army — is growing into fashion.
