Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Problems arise in that one has to find a balance between what people need from you and what you need ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Problems arise in that one has to find a balance between what people need from you and what you need for yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You do your best work when you’re having fun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62470]]></link><description><![CDATA[You do your best work when you’re having fun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11257]]></link><description><![CDATA[To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somebody took something that belonged to us, that we had taken care of.
