Still, you can learn to manage your non-efficient thinking and emotions. Just learn to be as conscious of your *mental and emotional energy expenditures and returns* as you are conscious of your dollar expenditures and returns. Remember the mental and emotional budget sheet. If you *halfway* play with this concept, it can give you a new perspective on energy economy. -Doc Childre.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For men use, if they have an evil tourne, to write it in marble; and whoso doth us a good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43047]]></link><description><![CDATA[For men use, if they have an evil tourne, to write it in marble; and whoso doth us a good tourne we will write it in duste.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Threatned men eat bread, says the Spaniard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Threatned men eat bread, says the Spaniard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those true eyes Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise The sweet soul shining through them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those true eyes Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise The sweet soul shining through them]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed; Give us courage to change what should be changed; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55194]]></link><description><![CDATA[God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed; Give us courage to change what should be changed; Give us the wisdom to distinguish one from the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women should be obscene and not heard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59791]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women should be obscene and not heard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance-it is the illusionof knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22109]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance-it is the illusionof knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind union ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind union of the two will preserve an independent reality]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The underlying questions are always: What is the Church?

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Partial results will be announced Saturday or Sunday and we will then announce the non-certified national total. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Partial results will be announced Saturday or Sunday and we will then announce the non-certified national total.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is an adventure, like going to war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27264]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though sympathizing with the revolutionaries' analysis of what was wrong with society and in fact being mistaken for a revolutionary ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though sympathizing with the revolutionaries' analysis of what was wrong with society and in fact being mistaken for a revolutionary himself by the political authorities of his day, nevertheless Jesus did not advocate a new political regime to be established by force through revolutionary action. He called for the love of our enemies, not their destruction; ... for readiness to suffer instead of using force; for forgiveness instead of hate and revenge. One might even say [that] Jesus was more revolutionary than the revolutionaries, or revolutionary in a very different way. The revolution he had in mind was a radical change of heart on the part of mankind, involving conversion away from selfishness and toward the willing service of God and of people in general.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy.
