Life is offered to me on condition of eating beefsteaks. But death is better than cannibalism.

There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sancho Panza by name is my own self, if I was not changed in my cradle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sancho Panza by name is my own self, if I was not changed in my cradle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When fight begins within himself, a man's worth something. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2261]]></link><description><![CDATA[When fight begins within himself, a man's worth something.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us.

When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd say we put a good run in the first half and a good run in the second half.
