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[Put too many one-size-fits-all jackets on Americans and the place explodes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Put too many one-size-fits-all jackets on Americans and the place explodes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17367]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5932]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66063]]></link><description><![CDATA[I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, When once it is within thee; but before  Mayst ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, When once it is within thee; but before  Mayst rule it, as thou list: and pour the shame,   Which it would pour on thee, upon the floor.    It is most just to throw that on the ground,     Which would throw me there, if I keep the round.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her.

The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still in the early stages (of recovery).
