This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make decisions from the heart and use your head to make it work out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make decisions from the heart and use your head to make it work out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When great poets sing, Into the night new constellations spring,  With music in the air that dulls the craft ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55314]]></link><description><![CDATA[When great poets sing, Into the night new constellations spring,  With music in the air that dulls the craft   Of rhetoric.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get wealth and power, if possible by grace, If not, by any means, get wealth and place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get wealth and power, if possible by grace, If not, by any means, get wealth and place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were coming off our moratorium, and we had a few shots that just didn't fall for us.

For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? •Jean Cocteau  Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. •Lily Tomlin  The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you. •Nancy Astor  For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself. •Rita Mae Brown  Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. •Mark Twain  The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already. •J.N. Fadenburg   Make a success of living by seeing the goal and aiming for it unswervingly. •Cecil B. Demille  I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. •Abraham Lincoln  The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made. •Groucho Marx  Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he really is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53870]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he really is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What men usually ask for when they pray to God is, that two and two may not make four. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53704]]></link><description><![CDATA[What men usually ask for when they pray to God is, that two and two may not make four.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Non-ambiguity is the shaping force of reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Non-ambiguity is the shaping force of reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conceal a flaw, and the world will imagine the worst ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conceal a flaw, and the world will imagine the worst]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ilk cowslip cup shall kep a tear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ilk cowslip cup shall kep a tear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are dedicating their energies to make this a very upscale and comfortable club without being pretentious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33732]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are dedicating their energies to make this a very upscale and comfortable club without being pretentious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One doctor described it as 18th-century medicine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36333]]></link><description><![CDATA[One doctor described it as 18th-century medicine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was incredible how strong the results were.
