Even if they don't like you, there is still no shame. If you happen to be fond of someone, and they're not fond of you, it's OK.. You don't have to wait and see if they'll love you back. You can announce it.. Joy in life comes from expressing ourselves, in taking risks and jumping in. Everyone is not going to like you. But you can like who you like.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2244]]></link><description><![CDATA[No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a kind of alacrity in sinking. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man, living, feeling man, is the easy sport of the over-mastering present. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man, living, feeling man, is the easy sport of the over-mastering present.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has always seemed to me extreme presumptuousness on the part of those who want to make human ability the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9393]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has always seemed to me extreme presumptuousness on the part of those who want to make human ability the measure of what nature can and knows how to do, since, when one comes down to it, there is not one effect in nature, no matter how small, that even the most speculative minds can fully understand. -Galileo Galilei.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curious things, habits.
