The sick and the ignorant were excluded. They were under the bondage of evil demons. "This people which knoweth not the law are accursed", was the common doctrine of Jews and Greeks. The philosophers addressed themselves only to the well-to-do, the intellectual, and the pure. To the mysteries were invited only those who had clean hands and sound understanding. It was a constant marvel to the heathen that the Christians called the sick and the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that number one, we owe it to our taxpayers to explore what our lands are worth and what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30907]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that number one, we owe it to our taxpayers to explore what our lands are worth and what we want to do.

This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your time ain't come not even a doctor can kill you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23706]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your time ain't come not even a doctor can kill you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After seven years of writing - and working many jobs to support my family - I finally got published. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40884]]></link><description><![CDATA[After seven years of writing - and working many jobs to support my family - I finally got published.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The present joys of life we doubly taste by looking back with pleasure on the past ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41490]]></link><description><![CDATA[The present joys of life we doubly taste by looking back with pleasure on the past]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forget the grand plan.
