And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin' ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sunbeams dropped Their gold, and, passing in porch and niche,  Softened to shadows, silvery, pale, and dim,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59913]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sunbeams dropped Their gold, and, passing in porch and niche,  Softened to shadows, silvery, pale, and dim,   As if the very Day paused and grew Eve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thought fills immensity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59219]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thought fills immensity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to wait for the successful outcome of that litigation before we'll be given final approval in Canada. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40454]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to wait for the successful outcome of that litigation before we'll be given final approval in Canada.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty is my best quality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42900]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty is my best quality]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasure is a necessary reciprocal.

It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and in fourteen days I lost two weeks ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12209]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and in fourteen days I lost two weeks]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get money; by just means. if you can; if not, still get money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get money; by just means. if you can; if not, still get money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For your ignorance is the mother of your devotion to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20408]]></link><description><![CDATA[For your ignorance is the mother of your devotion to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they haven't complied with the legislation, it's an honest mistake, and we will comply. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42113]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they haven't complied with the legislation, it's an honest mistake, and we will comply.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am having so much fun performing, I feel almost guilty.
