People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future will be better tomorrow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17113]]></link><description><![CDATA[The future will be better tomorrow]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To-morrow let us do or die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/496]]></link><description><![CDATA[To-morrow let us do or die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence will punish to prevent crime, not to avenge it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence will punish to prevent crime, not to avenge it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay, Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme,  Can blazon evil ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10654]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay, Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme,  Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who teaches children learns more than they do ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5940]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who teaches children learns more than they do]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an old cliche, but we've still got to get one more win.

And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the rain kiss you.
