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[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  I suddenly saw that all the time it was not I who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6469]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  I suddenly saw that all the time it was not I who had been seeking God, but God who had been seeking me. I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. All the beauty and truth which I had discovered had come to me as a reflection of his beauty, but I had kept my eyes fixed on the reflection and was always looking at myself. But God had brought me to the point at which I was compelled to turn away from the reflection, both of myself and of the world which could only mirror my own image. During that night the mirror had been broken, and I had felt abandoned because I could no longer gaze upon the image of my own reason and the finite world which it knew. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good person can make another person good; it means that goodness will elicit goodness in the society; other persons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30145]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good person can make another person good; it means that goodness will elicit goodness in the society; other persons will also be good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18905]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But genius must be born, and never can be taught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17309]]></link><description><![CDATA[But genius must be born, and never can be taught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You live and you learn -- or you don't live long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24955]]></link><description><![CDATA[You live and you learn -- or you don't live long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He wants Texas back. (when asked what terms Mexican-born pitching sensation Fernando Valenzuela might settle for in his upcoming contract ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57631]]></link><description><![CDATA[He wants Texas back. (when asked what terms Mexican-born pitching sensation Fernando Valenzuela might settle for in his upcoming contract negotiations)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear stops a lot of people.
