If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or have you mark'd a partridge quake, Viewing the towering falcon nigh?  She cuddles low behind the brake:  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or have you mark'd a partridge quake, Viewing the towering falcon nigh?  She cuddles low behind the brake:   Nor would she stay; nor dares she fly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foundation of every state is the education of its youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13400]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our necessities never equal our wants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our necessities never equal our wants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We praise old times, but show no curiosity about modern events. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51673]]></link><description><![CDATA[We praise old times, but show no curiosity about modern events.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one is truly literate who cannot read his own heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52295]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one is truly literate who cannot read his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neil: The meek may inherit the earth, but they don't get in to Harvard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neil: The meek may inherit the earth, but they don't get in to Harvard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.

This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not taking any possible action off the table.
