For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day,  And with thy bloody and invisible hand  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10773]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day,  And with thy bloody and invisible hand   Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond    Which keeps me pale.

His master suspended a bell about his neck so that the Dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went. Thinking it a mark of distinction, the Dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the marketplace. One day an old hound said to him: Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog. Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fine folkes a little ill finely wrapt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50003]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fine folkes a little ill finely wrapt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The anwser is no untill you ask the question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/582]]></link><description><![CDATA[The anwser is no untill you ask the question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most difficult things to contend with in a hospital is the assumption on the part of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19882]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most difficult things to contend with in a hospital is the assumption on the part of the staff that because you have lost your gall bladder you have also lost your mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis an old saying, the Devil lurks behind the cross.
