Once you can fake that you've got it made. •Jean Giraudoux  I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. •Bill Cosby  Why be a man when you can be a success? •Bertold Brecht  For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. •Richard Feynman  Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect.
