You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity asa vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise ingiving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can giveyourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, orsome time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough toaccept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, andfrom the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43887]]></link><description><![CDATA[A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only one who can beat me is me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45022]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only one who can beat me is me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hockey is our national theater, our water cooler talk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hockey is our national theater, our water cooler talk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If war should sweep our commerce from the seas, another generation will restore it.

If war exhausts our treasury, future industry will replenish it. If war desiccate and lay waste our fields, under new cultivation they will grow green again and ripen to future harvest. If the walls of yonder Capitol should fall and its decorations be covered by the dust of battle, all these can be rebuilt. But who shall reconstruct the fabric of a demolished government; who shall dwell in the well-proportioned columns of constitutional liberty; who shall frame together the skillful architecture which unites sovereignty with state's rights, individual security with prosperity?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They said it got lost somewhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37756]]></link><description><![CDATA[They said it got lost somewhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists ... in the loved one, perfection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2098]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists ... in the loved one, perfection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.

A very ordinary thing acquires a new value, if it has been possessed by some famous person. In any museum we will find quite ordinary things--clothes, a walking-stick, a pen, pieces of furniture--which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person. It is the ownership which gives them worth. It is so with the Christian. The Christian may be a very ordinary person, but he acquires a new value and dignity and greatness because he belongs to God. The greatness of the Christian lies in the fact that he is God's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64637]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And soon Their hushing dances languished to a stand,  Like midnight leaves when, as the Zephyrs swoon,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62664]]></link><description><![CDATA[And soon Their hushing dances languished to a stand,  Like midnight leaves when, as the Zephyrs swoon,   All on their drooping stems they sink unfanned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not want to work to correspond to an image. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36770]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not want to work to correspond to an image.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little government and a little luck are necessary in life; but only a fool trusts either of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47102]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little government and a little luck are necessary in life; but only a fool trusts either of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CHRISTMAS DAY The King of glory sends his Son, To make his entrance on this earth; Behold the midnight bright ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6606]]></link><description><![CDATA[CHRISTMAS DAY The King of glory sends his Son, To make his entrance on this earth; Behold the midnight bright as noon, And heav'nly hosts declare his birth!
