Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason teaching has to go on is that children are not born human; they are made so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57062]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason teaching has to go on is that children are not born human; they are made so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Controversies merely speculative are of small importance in themselves, however they may have sometimes heated a disputant, or provoked a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Controversies merely speculative are of small importance in themselves, however they may have sometimes heated a disputant, or provoked a faction]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess when your heart gets broken you sort of start to see cracks in everything.
