There is no substitute for the creative inspiration,knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your coreof inner silence. The great Sufi poet Rumi wrote, "Only let themoving waters calm down, and the sun and moon will be reflected on thesurface of your being.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, no!

But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental.

Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conflict cannot survive without your participation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63677]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conflict cannot survive without your participation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I’m always finding humans at their best and worst.
