It became quickly and readily apparent how cruel heretical teachings are and how prevalent the heresies are in contemporary times. Victims of these teachings have been encouraged to either to escape the world and their basic humanity into some form of flight and death or to use religion to undergird and isolate further their own self-centered self from the need to be loved and to love...   The conviction that heresy is cruel has given me a growing awe of and respect for orthodoxy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The U.S. is fully an attractive place to invest; it's the safest country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36618]]></link><description><![CDATA[The U.S. is fully an attractive place to invest; it's the safest country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we wish for others determines what we allow for ourselves.

Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He closed his eyes and just swung.

What, we are really asking, is the purpose of suffering? It seems purposeless. Our question of the why of evil assumes the view that the world has a purpose, and what we want to know is how suffering fits into and advances this purpose. The modern view is that suffering has no purpose because nothing that happens has any purpose: the world is run by causes, not by purposes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such men as fortune raises from a mean estate to the highest elevation by way of a joke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such men as fortune raises from a mean estate to the highest elevation by way of a joke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a writer and always was; being a writer is an integral part of my identity.
