And unexpressed feelings comeforth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are thereincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment anddisillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rageor anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are otherembodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing,not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects thequality of their relationships with others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5976]]></link><description><![CDATA[It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, Expels diseases, softens every pain,  Subdues the rage of poison, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, Expels diseases, softens every pain,  Subdues the rage of poison, and the plague.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn not only to find what you like, learn to like what you find. -Anthony J.

Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't care too much about music.

If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Growth is likely to be lower in '98 than it was in '97.
