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[There are a terrible lot of lies going round the world, and the worst of it is that they're true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26151]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a terrible lot of lies going round the world, and the worst of it is that they're true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me who first did kisses suggest? It was a mouth all glowing and blest;  It kissed and it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me who first did kisses suggest? It was a mouth all glowing and blest;  It kissed and it thought of nothing beside.   The fair month of May was then in its pride,    The flowers were all from the earth fast springing,     The sun was laughing, the birds were singing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are excited about our schedule.
