Imagine a man wearing a mask, and imagine that the elastic which holds the mask on has just broken, so that the man (rather than let the mask slip off) has to tilt his head back and balance the mask on his real face.

They are what they always have been, the individual's problems -- the meaning of life and death, the mastery of self, the quest for value and worth-whileness and freedom within, the transcending of loneliness, the longing for love and a sense of significance, and for peace. Society's problems are deep, but the individual's problems go deeper; Solzhenitsyn, Dostoyevsky, or Shakespeare will show us that, if we hesitate to take it from the Bible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the combat ceased, for want of combatants. [Fr., Et le combat cessa, faute de combattants.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9960]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the combat ceased, for want of combatants. [Fr., Et le combat cessa, faute de combattants.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship.
