It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know anything about luck.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life's unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves. . -Hubert ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life's unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves. . -Hubert Humphrey.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63787]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25725]]></link><description><![CDATA[In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Growth will continue.
