People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say, best men are moulded out of faults; And, for the most, become much more the better For being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15429]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say, best men are moulded out of faults; And, for the most, become much more the better For being a little bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously if you're among the three per cent that didn't get it within 12 months you're going to be concerned, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously if you're among the three per cent that didn't get it within 12 months you're going to be concerned, and rightly so,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is so conceited and timid to be ashamed of one's mistakes.

In these Books we shall find the father from whom, the son by whom, and the holy Ghost in whom all things have their being and keeping up, and these three persons to be but one God, and one substance.   Read [Holy Scripture] humbly with a meek and lowly heart, to the intent you may glorify God, and not your self, with the knowledge of it: and read it not without daily praying to God, that he would direct your reading to good effect: and take upon you to expound it no further than you can plainly understand it. For (as Saint Augustine says) the knowledge of holy Scripture is a great, large, and a high place, but the door is very low, so that the high & arrogant man cannot run in: but he must stoop low, and humble himself, that shall enter into it... The humble man may search any truth boldly in the Scripture, without any danger of error. (Continued tomorrow)   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 4, 2001 Commemoration of Felix, Bishop, Apostle to the East Angles, 647 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   Scripture in some places is easy, and in some places hard to be understood. This have I said, as touching the fear to read, through ignorance of the person. And concerning the hardness of Scripture, he that is so weak that he is not able to [eat] strong meat, yet he may suck the sweet and tender milk, and defer the rest, until he wax stronger, and come to more knowledge. For God receives the learned and unlearned, and casts away none, but [does not discriminate]. And the Scripture is full as well of low valleys, plain ways, and easy for every man to use, and to walk in: as also of high hills & mountains, which few men can climb unto.   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 5, 2001 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   We are to believe and follow Christ in all things, including his words about Scripture. And this means that Scripture is to be for us what it was to him: the unique, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God, and not merely a human testimony to Christ, however carefully guided and preserved by God. If the Bible is less than this to us, we are not fully Christ's disciples.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47919]]></link><description><![CDATA[The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind.
