When self-esteem is low, our resilience in the face of life's adversities is diminished. We crumble before vicissitudes that a healthier sense of self could vanquish. We tend to be more influenced by the desire to avoid pain than to experience joy. Negatives have more power over us than positives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suppose we've chosen the wrong god ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suppose we've chosen the wrong god]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have head the nightingale herself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44538]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have head the nightingale herself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is it that makes a complete stranger dive into an icy river to save a solid gold baby?

([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.

It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band  That knits me to thy rugged ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25968]]></link><description><![CDATA[Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band  That knits me to thy rugged strand!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My brother Bob doesn't want to be in government -- he promised Dad he'd go straight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47370]]></link><description><![CDATA[My brother Bob doesn't want to be in government -- he promised Dad he'd go straight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real malady is fear of life, not of death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real malady is fear of life, not of death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all fooles had babies, wee should want fuell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49506]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all fooles had babies, wee should want fuell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Responsibility is the thing people dread most of all.
