This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage. Indeed, I tell you the truth, any object you have in your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost Truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had more depth on the offensive line this year than ever, and we wanted to keep him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34691]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had more depth on the offensive line this year than ever, and we wanted to keep him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever envies another confesses his superiority ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever envies another confesses his superiority]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her new bark is worse than ten times her old bite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15458]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her new bark is worse than ten times her old bite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a very beautiful country and it has some of the Arab world's most interesting, best preserved, medieval ruins.

But to have any meaning or viability at all, a life plan must include intimate relationships. •Harriet Lerner  Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. •Anthony J D'Angelo  Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. •Richard M DeVos  Without relationships, no matter how much wealth, fame, power, prestige and seeming success by the standards and opinions of the world one has, happiness will constantly eluded him. •Sidney Malwed  Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate. •Albert Schweitzer  The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one. •Joan Baez  For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship. •Warren Beatty  The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smells -- and he smelled real nice. •Sandra Bullock  My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons. •Lord Byron  In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of. •Angela Carter  I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship is precious and complicated and challenging. It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy. •Helen Hunt  If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time. •Octavio Paz  The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. •Alexandria Penney  It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting. •Todd Ruthman  When you're in a relationship, you're always surrounded by a ring of circumstances... joined together by a wedding ring, or in a boxing ring. •Bob Seger  If you're in a relationship and you want to make it work, you have to be a little selfless at times. •Montel Williams  Assumptions are the termites of relationships.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention.
