If you blow too hard and too fast, the balloon pops and likewise the relationship breaks. But if you take things slowly and let the balloon of love stretch on its own, it grows into a huge, prosperous balloon, full of love. Also, if you don't push the relationship at all, or at least hold it at the same level it was at, the air will flow out of the balloon, deflating it, and your love will shrivel up and become flat & lifeless. So when you are in love, push the relationship forward slowly and gently and the balloon will grow comfortably into a strong, immense love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that cockers his child, provides for his enemie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49329]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that cockers his child, provides for his enemie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou desirest to be safe, turn at once in thy emptiness to God.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her.

At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward... We need to look ahead to be certain that our actions of today will make the world a better and richer and more varied place for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the best world, that we live in, To lend and to spend and to give in:  But ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62186]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the best world, that we live in, To lend and to spend and to give in:  But to borrow, or beg, or to get a man's own,   It is the worst world that ever was known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all the gold in the world were melted down into a solid cube it would be about the size ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15941]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all the gold in the world were melted down into a solid cube it would be about the size of an eight room house.
