Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?'

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is there not some chosen curse, some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath, to blast ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is there not some chosen curse, some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man who owes his greatness to his country's ruin!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is why we will end the hunger strike, but it should not be forgotten that it was a warning ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28436]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is why we will end the hunger strike, but it should not be forgotten that it was a warning to those who do not abide by law and justice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3233]]></link><description><![CDATA[I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1160]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to be able to react to negatives as well as positives.
