It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs. Self-conceit often regards it as a sign of weakness to admit that a belief to which we have once committed ourselves is wrong. We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a "pet" notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bravest battle that ever was fought; Shall I tell you where and when?  On the maps of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43206]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bravest battle that ever was fought; Shall I tell you where and when?  On the maps of the world you will find it not;   It was fought by the mothers of men.   - Joaquin Miller (pseudonym of Cincinnatus Hiner Miller),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the many lessons that one learns in prison is, that things are what they are and will be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64002]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the many lessons that one learns in prison is, that things are what they are and will be what they will be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27150]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9956]]></link><description><![CDATA[And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is sad because Australian tennis fans have come to love Kim and I think we will continue to, just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38482]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is sad because Australian tennis fans have come to love Kim and I think we will continue to, just as we do with Lleyton.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow.

In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her hat is a creation that will never go out of style; it will just look ridiculous year after year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35136]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her hat is a creation that will never go out of style; it will just look ridiculous year after year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work thou not on energized equipment, for if thou dost, thy fellow workers will surely buy beers for thy widow ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work thou not on energized equipment, for if thou dost, thy fellow workers will surely buy beers for thy widow and console her in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone according to their talent and every talent according to its work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone according to their talent and every talent according to its work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn on how little man may live, and how small a portion nature requires. [Lat., Discite quam parvo liceat producere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn on how little man may live, and how small a portion nature requires. [Lat., Discite quam parvo liceat producere vitam,  Et quantum natura petat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44051</guid></item></channel></rss>
