On the other hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with, to play with, to suffer and to enjoy. It is not the eyes of others that I am wary of, but of my own. I do not intend to let myself down more than I can possibly help, and I find that the fewer illusions I have about myself or the world around me, the better company I am for myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man differs from the animal only by a little; most men throw that little away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man differs from the animal only by a little; most men throw that little away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is more trouble to make a maxim than it is to do right ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26597]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is more trouble to make a maxim than it is to do right]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26998]]></link><description><![CDATA[A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beginning a series on the person of Jesus:  I read the words and ponder them, but most of all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beginning a series on the person of Jesus:  I read the words and ponder them, but most of all I look at Jesus and try to understand His life, when I want to know the fullest truth regarding God. And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I mark my hours by shadow; Mayest thou mark thine  By sunshine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58314]]></link><description><![CDATA[I mark my hours by shadow; Mayest thou mark thine  By sunshine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dull not device by coldness and delay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dull not device by coldness and delay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're very athletic and they run the floor.

So he is courting the party's most loyal voters at every opportunity. At a time when there is little federal money to spread around, Gore has championed the Administration's empowerment-zone program, which pours millions of dollars into depressed areas like inner Detroit. During the fall campaign, he visited black churches on Sundays with a rousing sermon that an aide described as] very un-Al Gore, ...
