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[Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

Then, after laying the sticks parallel to one another and binding them, he challenged his sons, one after one, to pick up the bundle and break it. They all tried, but in vain. Then, untying the bundle, he gave them the sticks to break one by one. This they did with the greatest ease.

But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</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[The evil that men do lives on the front pages of greedy newspapers, but the good is oft interred apathetically ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30723]]></link><description><![CDATA[The evil that men do lives on the front pages of greedy newspapers, but the good is oft interred apathetically inside]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The paths of glory at least lead to the grave, but the paths of duty may not get you any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65910]]></link><description><![CDATA[The paths of glory at least lead to the grave, but the paths of duty may not get you any where.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10869]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We purposely created Bob out of the ashes of George.

Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item></channel></rss>
