Once forgiving begins, dreams can be rebuilt. When forgiving is complete, meaning has been extracted from the worst of experiences and used to create a new set of moral rules and a new interpretation of life's events.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66251]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diego: I'm... sorry I set you up.

From all that terror teaches,  From lies of tongue and pen; From all the easy speeches  That comfort cruel men; From sale and profanation  Of honor and the sword; From sleep and from damnation,  Deliver us, good Lord! Tie in a living tether  The prince and priest and thrall; Bind all our lives together,  Smite us and save us all; In ire and exultation  Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation,  A single sword to Thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The appearance of a single great genius is more than equivalent to the birth of a hundred mediocrities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26770]]></link><description><![CDATA[The appearance of a single great genius is more than equivalent to the birth of a hundred mediocrities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, 1933  If the appetite alone hath ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, 1933  If the appetite alone hath sinned, let it alone fast, and it sufficeth. But if the other members also have sinned, why should they not fast, too... Let the eye fast from strange sights and from every wantonness, so that that which roamed in freedom in fault-doing may, abundantly humbled, be checked by penitence. Let the ear, blameably eager to listen, fast from tales and rumors, and from whatsoever is of idle import, and tendeth least to salvation. Let the tongue fast from slanders and murmurings, and from useless, vain, and scurrilous words, and sometimes also, in the seriousness of silence, even from things which may seem of essential import. Let the hand abstain from ... all toils which are not imperatively necessary. But also let the soul herself abstain from all evils and from acting out her own will. For without such abstinence the other things find no favor with the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the last couple of months, I've been contacting clients and giving them that opportunity.
