It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends are relatives you make for yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friends are relatives you make for yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hail, guest, we ask not what thou art; If friend, we greet thee, hand and heart;  If stranger, such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hail, guest, we ask not what thou art; If friend, we greet thee, hand and heart;  If stranger, such no longer be;   If foe, our love shall conquer thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hearts that are delicate and kind, and tongues that are neither -- these makes the finest company in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hearts that are delicate and kind, and tongues that are neither -- these makes the finest company in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The outstanding issue is who will pay for the cost overruns.
