Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.My intent will be evident in the results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Laborer and the SnakeA snake, having made his hole close to the porch of a cottage, inflicted a mortal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1552]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Laborer and the SnakeA snake, having made his hole close to the porch of a cottage, inflicted a mortal bite on the Cottager's infant son. Grieving over his loss, the Father resolved to kill the Snake. The next day, when it came out of its hole for food, he took up his axe, but by swinging too hastily, missed its head and cut off only the end of its tail. After some time the Cottager, afraid that the Snake would bite him also, endeavored to make peace, and placed some bread and salt in the hole. The Snake, slightly hissing, said: There can henceforth be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son. No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66091]]></link><description><![CDATA[If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man in this world without learning is as a beast of the field. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24545]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man in this world without learning is as a beast of the field.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a healthful hardiness about real dignity that never dreads contact and communion with others however humble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12286]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a healthful hardiness about real dignity that never dreads contact and communion with others however humble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.
