It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,  Wears yet a precious jewel in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,  Wears yet a precious jewel in his head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179   (Peter) Waldo, a business-man in Lyons, France, in about A.D. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179   (Peter) Waldo, a business-man in Lyons, France, in about A.D. 1170 became intensely curious as to the content of the Scriptures. But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I still buy nice pieces but, at the moment, they're presents for other people, so I only collect vicariously. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42533]]></link><description><![CDATA[I still buy nice pieces but, at the moment, they're presents for other people, so I only collect vicariously.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Ye have enemies; for who can live on this earth without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Ye have enemies; for who can live on this earth without them? Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With these shreds They vented their complainings, which being answered  And a petition granted them, a strange one,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2925]]></link><description><![CDATA[With these shreds They vented their complainings, which being answered  And a petition granted them, a strange one,   To break the heart of generosity,    And make bold power look pale, they threw their caps     As they would hang them on the horns o' th' moon,      Shouting their emulation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power is neither male nor female. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power is neither male nor female.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has a billionaire's spending habit, but a millionaire's budget. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35924]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has a billionaire's spending habit, but a millionaire's budget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives?
