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[The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6267]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64456]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl -- and look at the ailing, aching state a young ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61889]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl -- and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to -- which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should manage our fortune as we do our health - enjoy it when good, be patient when it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60672]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should manage our fortune as we do our health - enjoy it when good, be patient when it is bad, and never apply violent remedies except in an extreme necessity]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When any volume of this blend comes in contact with one-half of 1 percent (of its own volume) of water, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33795]]></link><description><![CDATA[When any volume of this blend comes in contact with one-half of 1 percent (of its own volume) of water, a condition called 'phase separation' occurs.
