A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher.Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to findsupernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. Moretime and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is the expectation that something outside of ourselves, something or someone external, is going to come to our rescue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is the expectation that something outside of ourselves, something or someone external, is going to come to our rescue and we will live happily ever after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[About the Oscars] Is the ultimate prize for any producer.

Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You yawn to equalize the pressure on your eardrums.

Dr. [Thomas] Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3103]]></link><description><![CDATA[The different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is three parts love and seven parts forgiveness of sins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is three parts love and seven parts forgiveness of sins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can tell it all in song: pathos, gladness, love, joy, unhappiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65353]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can tell it all in song: pathos, gladness, love, joy, unhappiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63474]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When something is written for the stage, I think it's wrong to try to make it bigger.
