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[The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45296]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52571]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are not so well united as to form an Insurrection.
