By allowing the fear of being ineffectual to enter into the state of prayer, and by wishing to accomplish something myself, I spoilt it all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No Alchymy to saving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49646]]></link><description><![CDATA[No Alchymy to saving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no way the UAW can reach an agreement with Delphi without GM coming to the table much more than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35590]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no way the UAW can reach an agreement with Delphi without GM coming to the table much more than they have so far.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47195]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The forecasts are optimistic.

But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I need no dictionary of quotations to remind me that the eyes are the windows of the soul ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52851]]></link><description><![CDATA[I need no dictionary of quotations to remind me that the eyes are the windows of the soul]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To execute laws is a royal office; to execute orders is not to be a king.

If you blow too hard and too fast, the balloon pops and likewise the relationship breaks. But if you take things slowly and let the balloon of love stretch on its own, it grows into a huge, prosperous balloon, full of love. Also, if you don't push the relationship at all, or at least hold it at the same level it was at, the air will flow out of the balloon, deflating it, and your love will shrivel up and become flat & lifeless. So when you are in love, push the relationship forward slowly and gently and the balloon will grow comfortably into a strong, immense love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When chill November's surly blast make fields and forest bare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43896]]></link><description><![CDATA[When chill November's surly blast make fields and forest bare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43896</guid></item></channel></rss>
