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://maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would prefer even to fail with honor than to win by cheating ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5811]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would prefer even to fail with honor than to win by cheating]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier for a woman to defend her virtue against men than her reputation against women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53910]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier for a woman to defend her virtue against men than her reputation against women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rich adopt novelties and become accustomed to their use.

This sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers progress. Innovation "is the whim of an elite before it becomes a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of tomorrow." Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it comes to basketball, I've never been nervous in my life.
