There is hope in the heart that chases the clouds away. Hope is a higher heart frequency and as you begin to reconnect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. It becomes a matter of how soon you want the sun to shine. Listening to the still, small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart Hope is a higher heart frequency, and as you begin to re-connect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. Listening to the still small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Benjamin Franklin, preface, Poor Richard's Almanac, 1758 He that lives upon hope will die fasting. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not till sex has died out between a man and a woman that they can really love.

And now I mean affection. Now I mean to be fond of (as one is fond of oneself) --to hope, to be disappointed, to live inside the other heart. When I look back on the pain of sex, the love like a wild fox so ready to bite, the antagonism that sits like a twin beside love, and contrast it with affection, so deeply unrepeatable, of two people who have lived a life together (and of whom one must die) it's the affection I find richer. It's that I would have again. Not all those doubtful rainbow colors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19426]]></link><description><![CDATA[It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true art of memory is the art of attention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26959]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true art of memory is the art of attention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discipline yourself, and others won't need to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discipline yourself, and others won't need to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between burlesque and the newspapers is that the former never pretended to be performing a public service by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44496]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between burlesque and the newspapers is that the former never pretended to be performing a public service by exposure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew what we had to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37367]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew what we had to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What sweeter gift from nature has fallen to the lot of man than his children? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48891]]></link><description><![CDATA[What sweeter gift from nature has fallen to the lot of man than his children?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the mind that maketh good of ill, that maketh wretch or happy,rich or poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21306]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the mind that maketh good of ill, that maketh wretch or happy,rich or poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Palm Sunday Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877   The entrance into Jerusalem [on Palm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6373]]></link><description><![CDATA[Palm Sunday Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877   The entrance into Jerusalem [on Palm Sunday] has all the elements of the theatre of the absurd: the poor king; truth comes riding on a donkey; symbolic actions -- even parading without a permit!
