The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clown and guru are a single identity: the satiric and sublime side of the same higher vision of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clown and guru are a single identity: the satiric and sublime side of the same higher vision of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People like port because it's got a really interesting flavour - it's rich.

He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2259]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need to protect Iraq and the world against terrorists. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37412]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need to protect Iraq and the world against terrorists.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justin reminds me of Jim Brown in that he's real lazy getting out of the huddle and getting to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justin reminds me of Jim Brown in that he's real lazy getting out of the huddle and getting to the line, then all of the sudden he's gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone is born a genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone is born a genius.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At my fingers' ends. -Twelfth Night.

The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The meanest floweret of the vale, The simplest note that swells the gale,  The common sun, the air, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45465]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meanest floweret of the vale, The simplest note that swells the gale,  The common sun, the air, the skies,   To him are open paradise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45465</guid></item></channel></rss>
