Even if they don't like you, there is still no shame. If you happen to be fond of someone, and they're not fond of you, it's OK.. You don't have to wait and see if they'll love you back. You can announce it.. Joy in life comes from expressing ourselves, in taking risks and jumping in. Everyone is not going to like you. But you can like who you like.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My ankle was going toward the left and my foot was going toward the right.

To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man may fulfil the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17034]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man may fulfil the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are the person who has to decide.
