Surrendering your head to your heart in those moments will lead you to balance and fulfillment. As you listen to your spirit, peace follows. So follow your spirit. Build your foundation in your heart. Love must be your innermost and spontaneous response towards every person you encounter. Say to yourself inside, "I just love." Use these words as a key to start the engine running in your heart and watch life brighten with new love and understanding. Surrender to your new awareness and let love unfold the purpose of creation to you. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16492]]></link><description><![CDATA[To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was so lucky.

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12461]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I really haven't noticed much difference.

Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just do the best you can.

That God should be in a state of constant fury with the wicked seemed to them only right and proper, but that God should be kind towards those who were defying or disobeying His laws seemed to them a monstrous injustice. Yet I was but quoting the Son of God Himself, and I only comment here that the terrifying risks that God takes are part of His Nature. We do not need to explain or modify His unremitting love towards mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you steal ideas from one source, that's plagiarism, but if you steal ideas from more than one source, that's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20284]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you steal ideas from one source, that's plagiarism, but if you steal ideas from more than one source, that's research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A SOBA is a client/server application done right.
