The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.   The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other. •Ma-Tsu   You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9723]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never saw a lawyer yet who would admit he was making money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24363]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never saw a lawyer yet who would admit he was making money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In many ways, states attempting to shore up corporate tax collections are fighting a losing battle against economic reality, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31698]]></link><description><![CDATA[In many ways, states attempting to shore up corporate tax collections are fighting a losing battle against economic reality,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With a goalkeeper you can name a replacement for two weeks and just keep extending it from that point. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38424]]></link><description><![CDATA[With a goalkeeper you can name a replacement for two weeks and just keep extending it from that point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone is a bore to someone.

We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf, like measles, should be caught young. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Golf, like measles, should be caught young.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One learns to itch where one can scratch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/572]]></link><description><![CDATA[One learns to itch where one can scratch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt that I could've thrown more combinations.
