Life has no otherdiscipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept lifeunquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run awayfrom, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in theend. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one forhim who has the vision to recognize it as such.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a correlation between top-scoring laws and the quality of the charter environment in that state. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37536]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a correlation between top-scoring laws and the quality of the charter environment in that state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cat may look like a king. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5310]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cat may look like a king.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou little bird, thou dweller by the sea, Why takest thou its melancholy voice,  And with that boding cry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou little bird, thou dweller by the sea, Why takest thou its melancholy voice,  And with that boding cry   Along the waves dost thou fly?    Oh! rather, bird, with me     Through this fair land rejoice!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915  Covetousness, pride, and envy are not three different things, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915  Covetousness, pride, and envy are not three different things, but only three different names for the restless workings of one and the same will or desire. Wrath, which is a fourth birth from these three, can have no existence till one or all of these three are contradicted, or have something done to them that is contrary to their will. These four properties generate their own torment. They have no outward cause, nor any inward power of altering themselves. And therefore all self or nature must be in this state until some supernatural good comes into it, or gets a birth in it. Whilst man indeed lives among the vanities of time, his covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath may be in a tolerable state, may hold him to a mixture of peace and trouble; they may have at times their gratifications as well as their torments. But when death has put an end to the vanity of all earthly cheats, the soul that is not born again of the Supernatural Word and Spirit of God, must find itself unavoidably devoured and shut up in its own insatiable, unchangeable, self-tormenting covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55066]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others. -Sydney J.
