If you blow too hard and too fast, the balloon pops and likewise the relationship breaks. But if you take things slowly and let the balloon of love stretch on its own, it grows into a huge, prosperous balloon, full of love. Also, if you don't push the relationship at all, or at least hold it at the same level it was at, the air will flow out of the balloon, deflating it, and your love will shrivel up and become flat & lifeless. So when you are in love, push the relationship forward slowly and gently and the balloon will grow comfortably into a strong, immense love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis not the fight that crowns us, but the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50142]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis not the fight that crowns us, but the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  Christ became ever more and more painfully convinced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  Christ became ever more and more painfully convinced that men did not know God. They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Didn't make no money today, but I'll just go to the next one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Didn't make no money today, but I'll just go to the next one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[in historical context it has gotten worse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28919]]></link><description><![CDATA[in historical context it has gotten worse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To accept a favor is to forfeit liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1318]]></link><description><![CDATA[To accept a favor is to forfeit liberty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have achieved our leadership position in the teleservices industry by committing to continual development and improvement of our service ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31432]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have achieved our leadership position in the teleservices industry by committing to continual development and improvement of our service offerings, as well as the quality of our call center agents.
