People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I strive to mould circumstances to myself, not myself to circumstances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50263]]></link><description><![CDATA[I strive to mould circumstances to myself, not myself to circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Millions of voites are thrown out in election after election in this country.

The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2691]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20131]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1032]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation of morality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation of morality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You were once wild here ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61578]]></link><description><![CDATA[You were once wild here]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is changing.

Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think no vice so small that you may commit it, and no virtue so small that you may over look ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think no vice so small that you may commit it, and no virtue so small that you may over look it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are doing your best only when you are trying to improve what you are doing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12711]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are doing your best only when you are trying to improve what you are doing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12711</guid></item></channel></rss>
