Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the endlessly alluring aspects of mathematics is that its thorniest paradoxes have a way of blooming into beautiful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26534]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the endlessly alluring aspects of mathematics is that its thorniest paradoxes have a way of blooming into beautiful theories.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know my name is lost, By treason's tooth bare-gnawn and canker-bit;  Yet am I noble as the adversary  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know my name is lost, By treason's tooth bare-gnawn and canker-bit;  Yet am I noble as the adversary   I come to cope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who sees two or three generations is like someone who sits in a conjurer's booth at a fair ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19362]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who sees two or three generations is like someone who sits in a conjurer's booth at a fair and sees the tricks two or three times.

There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item></channel></rss>
