True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out every day. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town, and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and the doctor's bills were real high.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't have to suffer to be a poet; adolescence is enough suffering for anyone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5979]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't have to suffer to be a poet; adolescence is enough suffering for anyone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can take it...

The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.   The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other. •Ma-Tsu   You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Manny we are getting a player who has won a couple of MLS championships in San Jose and who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36110]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Manny we are getting a player who has won a couple of MLS championships in San Jose and who is a solid, proven professional.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Which fiddle-strings is weakness to expredge my nerves this night! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Which fiddle-strings is weakness to expredge my nerves this night!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look in, and see Christ's chosen saint In triumph wear his Christ-like chain;  No fear lest he should swerve ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look in, and see Christ's chosen saint In triumph wear his Christ-like chain;  No fear lest he should swerve or faint;   "His life is Christ, his death is gain."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It [true love] is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie,  Which heart to heart, and mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58531]]></link><description><![CDATA[It [true love] is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie,  Which heart to heart, and mind to mind   In body and in soul can bind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is a good book which is opened with expectation and closed in profit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4611]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is a good book which is opened with expectation and closed in profit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So we grew together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted, But yet an union in partition. -A Midsummer Night's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55526]]></link><description><![CDATA[So we grew together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted, But yet an union in partition. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.
