Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and who hath aught that is not Thine? Thou payest debts, owing nothing; remittest debts, losing nothing. And that have I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy? or what saith any man when he speaks of Thee? Yet woe to him that speaketh not, since mute are even the most eloquent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are the person who has to decide.

When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To touch the quick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55144]]></link><description><![CDATA[To touch the quick.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're working on this, but weren't hired specifically for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34173]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're working on this, but weren't hired specifically for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet, ...
