Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers not the enrichment of the leaders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16316]]></link><description><![CDATA[True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers not the enrichment of the leaders.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thoughts shut up want air, And spoil like bales unopen'd to the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thoughts shut up want air, And spoil like bales unopen'd to the sun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gap has only widened in the immediate years.

There is one Holy God, creator of heaven and earth. He is Lord of all life. To Him we are beholden for our life in all its meaning and its hope. Monotheism for the Christian means that anything else which is put in the place of our loyalty to God is an idol. The worship of national power, or racial prestige, or financial success, or cultural tradition, is a violation of the one truth about life, that all created things come from God. To commit life to the one true God is to refuse to have any other gods at all. Values there are in abundance, interests, plans, programs, loyalties to family and nation. But these are not gods; they do not save us; they are not holy in themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are getting dozens of calls a day asking for details about the Medicare prescription-drug coverage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38701]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are getting dozens of calls a day asking for details about the Medicare prescription-drug coverage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live together like brothers, and do business like strangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live together like brothers, and do business like strangers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What this tournament represents is a mid-season gut-check.
