We can experience the world through our senses. Or we can remove ourselves from our senses and experience the world even less directly. We can think about our life, rather than thinking in our life. We can think about what we think about our life, and we can think about what we think about that. We can shift perceptual positions many times over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/371]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with excuses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for the appointment by the corrupt few. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for the appointment by the corrupt few.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart:  She gives me cream with all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10530]]></link><description><![CDATA[The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart:  She gives me cream with all her might   To eat with apple-tart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any communication or marketing professional needs cross-cultural research and communication skills to be able to succeed in the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any communication or marketing professional needs cross-cultural research and communication skills to be able to succeed in the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Desire is the very essence of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Desire is the very essence of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My country is the world; my countrymen are mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27876]]></link><description><![CDATA[My country is the world; my countrymen are mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're in a different ball game now.

The Stoics tried the hopeless little game of denying its objective reality, or of declaring it a good in itself (which it never is); and the Pessimists attempted to revel in it, as a food to their melancholy, and as something that can no more be transformed than it can be avoided or explained. But Christ came, and He did not really explain it; He did far more: He met it, willed it, transformed it; and He taught us to do all this -- or, rather, He Himself does it within us, if we do not hinder the all-healing hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cyril & Methodius, Missionaries to the Slavs, 869 & 885 Commemoration of Valentine, Martyr at Rome, c.269 Continuing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cyril & Methodius, Missionaries to the Slavs, 869 & 885 Commemoration of Valentine, Martyr at Rome, c.269 Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   As we get older, we know what we need most from forgiveness is not suspension of punishment, but assurance that love is unbroken even when we are separated... We must realize that God is against us when we are sinning; yet we dare trust that His gracious love reaches to us across the chasm which separates us from Him. When we understand His loving attitude and accept His Grace, He releases His love in us. By that love we are able to begin to keep His commands for us -- to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regarding life, the wisest men of all ages have judged alike: it is worthless.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regarding life, the wisest men of all ages have judged alike: it is worthless.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60899]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45148]]></link><description><![CDATA[No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2138]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to take a lot of pushing and shoving in the U.S. and Europe to get the concessions from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38833]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's going to take a lot of pushing and shoving in the U.S. and Europe to get the concessions from rich countries that will keep poor countries involved in the negotiations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you score one more goal than the other team, you win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57775]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you score one more goal than the other team, you win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the one who dries your tears is the one who makes you cry, who do you run to? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28157]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the one who dries your tears is the one who makes you cry, who do you run to?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is a form of personal freedom.
