It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63904]]></link><description><![CDATA[All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14320]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44327]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanksgiving-day, I fear, If one the solemn truth must touch,  Is celebrated, not so much   To thank ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thanksgiving-day, I fear, If one the solemn truth must touch,  Is celebrated, not so much   To thank the Lord for blessing o'er,    As for the sake of getting more!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54612]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek joy in what you give not in what you get ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek joy in what you give not in what you get]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Phidias made the statue of Venue at Elis with one foot upon the shell of a tortoise, to signify two ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Phidias made the statue of Venue at Elis with one foot upon the shell of a tortoise, to signify two great duties of a virtuous woman, which are to keep home and be silent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair;  The ornament ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56555]]></link><description><![CDATA[That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair;  The ornament of beauty is suspect,   A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air.    So thou be good, slander doth but approve     Thy worth the greater, being wooed of time;      For canker vice the sweetest buds doth love,       And thou present'st a pure unstained prime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone is born sincere and die deceivers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone is born sincere and die deceivers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A health to the nut-brown lass, With the hazel eyes: let it pass.  . . . .   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59417]]></link><description><![CDATA[A health to the nut-brown lass, With the hazel eyes: let it pass.  . . . .   As much to the lively grey    'Tis as good i' th' night as day:     . . . .      She's a savour to the glass,       And excuse to make it pass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vain, weak-built isthmus, which dost proudly rise Up between two eternities!

The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have only made this letter rather long because I have not had time to make it shorter. [Fr., Je ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47823]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have only made this letter rather long because I have not had time to make it shorter. [Fr., Je n'ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parceque je n'ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps the reward of the spirit who tries is not the goal but the exercise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps the reward of the spirit who tries is not the goal but the exercise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[National leaders who find themselves wilting under the withering criticisms by members of the media, would do well not to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32132]]></link><description><![CDATA[National leaders who find themselves wilting under the withering criticisms by members of the media, would do well not to take such criticism personally but to regard the media as their allies in keeping the government clean and honest, its services]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inside an oasis, there are many little deserts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inside an oasis, there are many little deserts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't tell you I'm satisfied with the results of the whole camera situation, because I'm not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28711]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't tell you I'm satisfied with the results of the whole camera situation, because I'm not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings.

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.
