It has to be an American crisis, of course. If two countries fight that do not supply the Americans with some precious commodity, then the education of the public does not take place. But when the dictator falls, when the oil is threatened, then you turn on the television and they tell you where the country is, what the language is, how to pronounce the names of the leaders, what the religion is all about, and maybe you can cut out recipes in the newspaper of Persian dishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Innovators and creators are persons who can to a higher degree than average accept the condition of aloneness.

They are more willing to follow their own vision, even when it takes them far from the mainland of the human community. Unexplored places do not frighten them- or not, at any rate, as much as they frighten those around them. This is one of the secrets of their power. That which we call "genius" has a great deal to do with courage and daring, a great deal to do with nerve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man desires praise that he may be reassured, that he may be quit of his doubting of himself; he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27685]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man desires praise that he may be reassured, that he may be quit of his doubting of himself; he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success. - On Doing What One Likes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever plays the best defense is going to win this league.

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[Better to hunt in fields for health unbought, Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught.  The wise for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to hunt in fields for health unbought, Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught.  The wise for cure on exercise depend;   God never made his work for man to mend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They whose sole bliss is eating can give but that one brutish reason why they live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17588]]></link><description><![CDATA[They whose sole bliss is eating can give but that one brutish reason why they live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rivalry adds so much to the charms of one's conquests ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rivalry adds so much to the charms of one's conquests]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am so in love with my brother right now! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4952]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am so in love with my brother right now!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4952</guid></item></channel></rss>
