Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as 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/43237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't believe in having bands for solo records. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43529]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't believe in having bands for solo records.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basic Pilot right now doesn't work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basic Pilot right now doesn't work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's nothing more dangerous than a resourceful idiot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11057]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's nothing more dangerous than a resourceful idiot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can one desire too much of a good thing? -As You Like It.

It was "sin brought death into the world and all our woe"; as the sin vanishes the woe will vanish too. God Himself is the ever-blessed God. He dwells in the light of joy as well as of purity, and instead of becoming more like Him as we become more miserable, and as all the brightness and glory of life are extinguished, we become more like God as our blessedness becomes more complete. The great Christian graces are radiant with happiness. Faith, hope, charity, there is no sadness in them; and if penitence makes the heart sad, penitence belongs to the sinner, not to the saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't see us having a substitution problem.

It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66625]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bottling up his malice to be suppressed and brought out with increased violence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bottling up his malice to be suppressed and brought out with increased violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection.

Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curiosity is one of the lowest of the human faculties.
