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[It's easier to get rich than it is to explain not getting rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22612]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's easier to get rich than it is to explain not getting rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14267]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one remains modest, not after praise but after blame, then is he really so. [Ger., Wenn jemand bescheiden bleibt, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42912]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one remains modest, not after praise but after blame, then is he really so. [Ger., Wenn jemand bescheiden bleibt, nicht beim Lobe, sondern beim Tadel, dann ist er's.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More than likely, I'm going to play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40718]]></link><description><![CDATA[More than likely, I'm going to play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or ever the knightly years were gone With the old world to the grave,  I was a king in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or ever the knightly years were gone With the old world to the grave,  I was a king in Babylon   And you were a Christian slave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who tries to do something and fails is infinitely better than he who tries to do nothing and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who tries to do something and fails is infinitely better than he who tries to do nothing and succeeds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hebe's here, May is here! The air is fresh and sunny;  And the miser-bees are busy   Hoarding ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hebe's here, May is here! The air is fresh and sunny;  And the miser-bees are busy   Hoarding golden honey.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them hate, so long as they fear. [Lat., Oderint, dum metuant.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18841]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let them hate, so long as they fear. [Lat., Oderint, dum metuant.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People always make time to do the things they really want to do. -Anon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59366]]></link><description><![CDATA[People always make time to do the things they really want to do. -Anon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear is the biggest motivator. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is the biggest motivator.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Makes a swan-like end, Fading in music. -The Merchant of Venice.
