For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our sympathy is cold to the relation of distant misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our sympathy is cold to the relation of distant misery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No amount of law enforcement can solve a problem that goes back to the family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66396]]></link><description><![CDATA[No amount of law enforcement can solve a problem that goes back to the family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acerra always drinks till dawn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acerra always drinks till dawn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just have to take charge and get the job done, we had our opportunities and that's the name of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38262]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just have to take charge and get the job done, we had our opportunities and that's the name of the game.

Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you sound like Vera Duckworth you will face prejudice in business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40057]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you sound like Vera Duckworth you will face prejudice in business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A merry monarch, scandalous and poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54530]]></link><description><![CDATA[A merry monarch, scandalous and poor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60998</guid></item></channel></rss>
