This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy.

The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item></channel></rss>
