What is the reason that so many in our days set their hands to the plough, and looked back again? -- begin to serve Providence in great things, but cannot finish? -- give over in the heat of the day? They never had any such revelation of the mind of God upon their spirits, such a discovery of His excellence, as might serve for a bottom of such undertakings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An essential part of true listening is the discipline of bracketing, the temporary giving up or setting aside of one's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25206]]></link><description><![CDATA[An essential part of true listening is the discipline of bracketing, the temporary giving up or setting aside of one's own prejudices, frames of reference and desires so as to experience as far as possible the speaker's world from the inside, step in inside his or her shoes. This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense.
