I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings.

And unexpressed feelings comeforth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are thereincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment anddisillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rageor anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are otherembodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing,not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects thequality of their relationships with others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4867]]></link><description><![CDATA[The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the province of knowledge to speak And it is the privilege of wisdom to listen. -Oliver Wendell Holmes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25191]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the province of knowledge to speak And it is the privilege of wisdom to listen. -Oliver Wendell Holmes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them hate so long as they fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let them hate so long as they fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before complaining that you are a slave to another, be sure that you are not a slave to self.
