Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man is a creature that needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35166]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man is a creature that needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of the laws which structure his conformity and define his deviancy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's this huge number of desperate people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40881]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's this huge number of desperate people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a burning and shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25046]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a burning and shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll see more and more perfection of that - computer as servant.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relationships are like a dance, with visible energy racing back andforth between partners.
