When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped.

If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Around, around, Companions all, take your ground,  And name the bell with joy profound!   Concordia is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Around, around, Companions all, take your ground,  And name the bell with joy profound!   Concordia is the world we've found    Most meet to express the harmonious sound,     That calls to those in friendship bound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The end of the season is coming up, we're starting to see it.
