He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art hath an enemy called ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art hath an enemy called ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Petroc, Abbot of Padstow, 6th century  ... for one good never clashes with another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Petroc, Abbot of Padstow, 6th century  ... for one good never clashes with another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest.
