Success and failure are unavoidably related in our minds with the state of things around us. Hence it is that people with a sense of fulfillment think it is a good world and would like to preserve it as it is, while the frustrated favor radical change. The tendency to look for all causes outside ourselves persists even when it is clear that our state of being is the product of personal qualities such as ability, character, appearance, health and so on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think another problem people have is they are always searching for that high, and they don't realize they can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31785]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think another problem people have is they are always searching for that high, and they don't realize they can get that same high with that same person again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Riches either serve or govern the possessor. [Lat., Imperat aut servit collecta pecunia cuique.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61397]]></link><description><![CDATA[Riches either serve or govern the possessor. [Lat., Imperat aut servit collecta pecunia cuique.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were promised sufferings.
