Care gives latitude to another person and gets you past the dislikes and annoyances. Quite simply, caring sustains love. Doc Childre and Sara Paddison, HeartMath Discovery Program Are there certain friends you turn to when you have a problem or need to be listened to? Think about this: - Are they compassionate, understanding and nurturing? - Are they totally present, giving you their undivided attention? - Do they try to solve your problems for you or do they help you to get clarity so that you can solve your own problems? - Do they let you talk until you're done? Chances are the people you turn to for support and understanding are good listeners. You can develop these qualities as well and take them even deeper into "essence understanding" through mastering deep heart listening. James Allen In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, for in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. Frances Ward Weller -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13637]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden.

But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is the only sensual pleasure without vice ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is the only sensual pleasure without vice]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65314]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe anything is possible.Research into quantum physicsproves that a system changessimply by someone observing it.Therefore, all you have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31802]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe anything is possible.Research into quantum physicsproves that a system changessimply by someone observing it.Therefore, all you have to do is beawake and aware of your environment,and that enables you totransform everything around you.It sounds like hocus pocus, butscientists are coming to realize thatjust thinking about something canmake it happen.

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can wealth give happiness? look round and see What gay distress! what splendid misery!  Whatever fortunes lavishly can pour, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can wealth give happiness? look round and see What gay distress! what splendid misery!  Whatever fortunes lavishly can pour,   The mind annihilates, and calls for more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is something we knew was going to be ultimately decided by the Law Court.
