But -- I know not well whence it comes to pass -- the things spoken do not abide nor incorporate in our minds. They please and refresh for a little while, like a shower of rain in a dry season, that soaketh not unto the roots of things; the power of them doth not enter into us. Is it not from hence, that their notions of future things are not educed out of the experience which we have of the beginnings of them in this world? Yea, the soul is disturbed, not edified, in all contemplations of future glory, where things are proposed to it whereof in this life it hath neither foretaste, sense, experience, nor evidence. No man ought to look for anything in heaven, but what one way or other he hath some experience of in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't fear change, embrace it. -Anthony J.

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[He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24608]]></link><description><![CDATA[He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judges and senates have been bought for gold; Esteem and love were never to be sold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judges and senates have been bought for gold; Esteem and love were never to be sold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say to be a leader, not a follower.
