In the bedroom you grew up in. It's the only place on this entire planet that is yours. The only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare everytime you think about talking to anyone, scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. The way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "Mr. Misery"...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He never, never worried about it.

Therefore, the true way for you to find Christ is not to go groping in a thousand books. It is not for you to try evidences about a thousand things that people have believed of Him, but it is for you to undertake so great a life, so devoted a life, so pure a life, so serviceable a life, that you cannot do it except by Christ, and then see whether Christ helps you. See then whether there comes to you the certainty that you are a child of God, and the manifestation of the child of God becomes the most credible, the most certain thing to you in all of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5305]]></link><description><![CDATA[If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be miserable.
