The urge to escape our real self is also an urge to escape the rational and the obvious. The refusal to see ourselves as we are develops a distaste for facts and cold logic. There is no hope for the frustrated in the actual and the possible. Salvation can come to them only from the miraculous, which seeps through a crack in the iron wall of inexorable reality. They asked to be deceived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To bear is to conquer our fate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15384]]></link><description><![CDATA[To bear is to conquer our fate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, Freedom has a thousand charms to show That slaves, howe'er contented, never know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16675]]></link><description><![CDATA[No, Freedom has a thousand charms to show That slaves, howe'er contented, never know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is but the weak and little mind that rejoices in revenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50459]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is but the weak and little mind that rejoices in revenge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not consider self-expression as important.

Money can't buy a clear conscience—square dealing is the price tag. Money can't buy the glow of good health—right living is the secret. Money can't buy happiness—happiness is a mental condition and one may be as happy in a cottage as in a mansion. Money can't buy sunsets, songs of wild birds and the music of the wind in the trees—these are as free as the air we breath. Money can't buy inward peace—peace is the result of a constructive philosophy in life. Money can't buy a good character—good character is achieved through decent habits of private living and wholesome dealings in our open contacts with our fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a strong, good-sized kid.

But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will. -Grenville Kleiser.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wings of angels are often found on the backs of the least likely people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63250]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wings of angels are often found on the backs of the least likely people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.
