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[The universe seems bankrupt as soon as we begin to discuss the characters of individuals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60206]]></link><description><![CDATA[The universe seems bankrupt as soon as we begin to discuss the characters of individuals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner, And take to light claret instead of pale ale;  Look ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13221]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner, And take to light claret instead of pale ale;  Look down with an utter contempt upon butter,   And never touch bread till its toasted--or stale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who limps is still walking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61092]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who limps is still walking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Next week will be extremely heavy for earnings news , ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Next week will be extremely heavy for earnings news ,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are doing very well, making good money, more money than the rooms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35809]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are doing very well, making good money, more money than the rooms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past.

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since love and fear can hardly coexist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since love and fear can hardly coexist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our dignity is not in what we do, but what we understand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12275]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our dignity is not in what we do, but what we understand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quarrels of lovers are the renewal of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52696]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quarrels of lovers are the renewal of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a strange injury.

For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? •Jean Cocteau  Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. •Lily Tomlin  The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you. •Nancy Astor  For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself. •Rita Mae Brown  Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. •Mark Twain  The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already. •J.N. Fadenburg   Make a success of living by seeing the goal and aiming for it unswervingly. •Cecil B. Demille  I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. •Abraham Lincoln  The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made. •Groucho Marx  Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All women become like their mothers.
