If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heresy is a cradle; orthodoxy a coffin ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heresy is a cradle; orthodoxy a coffin]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's always pretty obvious to most of the public when something was done with heart and mind.

Born in a manger, and crucified as a malefactor, He now controls the destinies of the civilized world, and rules a spiritual empire which embraces one-third of the inhabitants of the globe. There never was in this world a life so unpretending, modest, and lowly in its outward form and condition, and yet producing such extraordinary effects upon all ages, nations, and classes of men. The annals of history produce no other example of such complete and astonishing success in spite of the absence of those material, social, literary, and artistic powers and influences which are indispensable to success for a mere man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because I am a nice guy, it doesn't mean I am not sexy, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because I am a nice guy, it doesn't mean I am not sexy,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast fair forms that move With queenly tread;  Thou hast proud fanes above   Thy mighty dread. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast fair forms that move With queenly tread;  Thou hast proud fanes above   Thy mighty dread.    Yet wears thy Tiber's shore     A mournful mien:--      Rome, Rome, thou art no more       As thou hast been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our play wasn't acceptable.
