There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day.

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mere court butterfly, That flutters in the pageant of a monarch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10453]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mere court butterfly, That flutters in the pageant of a monarch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the midst of life we are in debt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15760]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the midst of life we are in debt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most expensive wedding usually ends with the quickest divorce. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27250]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most expensive wedding usually ends with the quickest divorce.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was kind of not publicized very well.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis silence all, And pleasing expectation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14637]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis silence all, And pleasing expectation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60462]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every journey that is successful has culs-de-sac and speed bumps.
