And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin' ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother worked hard for a long time and now I work hard to make sure that she doesn't have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38884]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother worked hard for a long time and now I work hard to make sure that she doesn't have to work, ...

A fellowship of prodigal sons came into being -- the church of Christ. Love begets love. A new power ... was let loose upon our suffering world, the power to love those who have not deserved love, the unworthy, the unlovely and unlovable, a man's enemies, and even his torturers.

You would be surprised if you knew how soon one begins to feel the shortness of the tether: of how many things, even in middle life, we have to say, "No time for that", "Too late now" and "Not for me". But Nature herself forbids you [young people] to share that experience. A more Christian attitude, which can be attained at any age, is that of leaving futurity in God's hands. We may as well, for God will certainly retain it whether we leave it to Him or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To give up pretensions is as blessed a relief as to get them gratified. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48176]]></link><description><![CDATA[To give up pretensions is as blessed a relief as to get them gratified.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moon rocks are OK when everyone is eating. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moon rocks are OK when everyone is eating.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess more players lick themselves that are ever licked by an opposing team.
