And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature -- either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63464]]></link><description><![CDATA[A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the 20th century than in all of previous human history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66621]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the 20th century than in all of previous human history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy deathbed is no lesser than thy land, Wherein thou liest in reputation sick;  And thou, too careless patient ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy deathbed is no lesser than thy land, Wherein thou liest in reputation sick;  And thou, too careless patient as thou art,   Committ'st thy anointed body to the cure    Of those physicians that first wounded thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46519]]></link><description><![CDATA[The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no substitute for experience ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14662]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no substitute for experience]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to talk about pride, I'm so proud that Fredericksburg could bring this quality of entertainment to town. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35431]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to talk about pride, I'm so proud that Fredericksburg could bring this quality of entertainment to town.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carlos felt really strong at the foot of the decisive climb, so we put Calvente and Piil up front to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Carlos felt really strong at the foot of the decisive climb, so we put Calvente and Piil up front to set the pace. With about six kilometers to go Carlos hit a bad patch and instead of risking a total meltdown, he made the sensible choice to ride at his own pace and he did actually manage to limit his time loss quite well. The other day Carlos was a bit better than Mancebo and today it was the other way round. The time differences are still very small. The way it looks right now Heras and Menchov are the strongest. But there's almost two full weeks left and a lot can happen in that time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I spent a year in that town, one Sunday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4733]]></link><description><![CDATA[I spent a year in that town, one Sunday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I missed it.

If you blow too hard and too fast, the balloon pops and likewise the relationship breaks. But if you take things slowly and let the balloon of love stretch on its own, it grows into a huge, prosperous balloon, full of love. Also, if you don't push the relationship at all, or at least hold it at the same level it was at, the air will flow out of the balloon, deflating it, and your love will shrivel up and become flat & lifeless. So when you are in love, push the relationship forward slowly and gently and the balloon will grow comfortably into a strong, immense love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn... and change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13554]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn... and change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
