There is hope in the heart that chases the clouds away. Hope is a higher heart frequency and as you begin to reconnect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. It becomes a matter of how soon you want the sun to shine. Listening to the still, small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart Hope is a higher heart frequency, and as you begin to re-connect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. Listening to the still small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Benjamin Franklin, preface, Poor Richard's Almanac, 1758 He that lives upon hope will die fasting. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it makes it much easier if we're looking at a 10-year number for $35 billion, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30200]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it makes it much easier if we're looking at a 10-year number for $35 billion,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ear of jealousy heareth all things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23191]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ear of jealousy heareth all things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think our numbers wore them down.

The resurrection of the body, on the other. I can't reach the ghost of an image, a formula, or even a feeling, that combines them. But the reality, we are given to understand, does. Reality is the iconoclast once more. Heaven will solve our problems--but not, I think, by showing us subtle reconciliations between all our apparently contradictory notions. The notions will all be knocked from under our feet. We shall see that there never was any problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the bullpen did a great job and my teammates helped me out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30848]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the bullpen did a great job and my teammates helped me out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning will be cast into the mire and trodden down under the hoofs of a swinish multitude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning will be cast into the mire and trodden down under the hoofs of a swinish multitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry is like a rocking chair--it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worry is like a rocking chair--it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is apparently some connection between dissatisfaction with oneself and proneness to credulity.

The urge to escape our real self is also an urge to escape the rational and the obvious. The refusal to see ourselves as we are develops a distaste for facts and cold logic.

Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To loathe the taste of sweetness, whereof a little More than a little is by much too much. -King Henry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55882]]></link><description><![CDATA[To loathe the taste of sweetness, whereof a little More than a little is by much too much. -King Henry IV.
