Hear the pain in people's speaking. Peoplewho have an ear to hear can hear. You will no longer tolerate what youused to tolerate. A second point of reality. It's the loving thing to do.What's being revealed here? Dogs don't have things wrong. Wrongdisempowers people. Upsets indicate a "right" that's beenviolated. Notice when you are angry that you are the only one around. Theonly constant thing is you. Business is made up. It's invented. If itreally turns you on, you may want to inform your face. There is no"right" way. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night.

This bondage becomes most painfully apparent in our lives when we earnestly feel the need of changing but cannot; when we are attracted to another value that for one reason or another conflicts with the desires of our true god --that value nearest and dearest to us. But our true god lies so deeply inside us that often we are not even consciously aware of its presence or of what it actually is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26116]]></link><description><![CDATA[So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge. [Lat., Ita enim finitima sunt falsa veris ut in praecipitem locum non debeat se sapiens committere.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3103]]></link><description><![CDATA[The different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're getting mature the responsibility you have ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33432]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're getting mature the responsibility you have]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll have to step up our game, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37506]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll have to step up our game,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I won't even begin to discuss it as a football match because it wasn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38428]]></link><description><![CDATA[I won't even begin to discuss it as a football match because it wasn't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62968]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is in the hands of God.
