The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.   The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other. •Ma-Tsu   You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The crucial thing for genocide is that you have to show a special kind of intent to implement genocide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37247]]></link><description><![CDATA[The crucial thing for genocide is that you have to show a special kind of intent to implement genocide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11211]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . .

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a lot of corporations that aren't paying their share at all.
