Cowman  To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment. •James Allen   All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure. •Jean-Paul Sartre   No one ever won a chess game by betting on each move. Sometimes you have to move backward to get a step forward. •Amar Gopal Bose   He was a self-made man who owed his lack of success to nobody. •Joseph Heller   Failure is the tuition you pay for success. •Walter Brunell   Success is never final, but failure can be. •Bill Parcells   Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. •George Washington Carver   I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . . Failure always made me try harder next time. •Michael Jordan   Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. •Confucius   The world is divided into two categories: failures and unknowns. •Francis Picabia   You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. •Walt Disney  Success is a public affair. Failure is a private funeral. •Rosalind Russell   My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure. •Abraham Lincoln   Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts. •George R. Tilton   I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom. •George S. Patton   There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. •Barbara Ward   Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet. •German Proverb   A man may fail many times but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else. •J. Paul Getty   Failure is not fatal; victory is not success. •Tony Richardson   Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. •Louis Boone   Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. •Jim Rohn  There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. •Laurence J. Peter   If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless. •Robert H. Schuller   Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor. •Truman Capote   There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient. •Sri Swami Sivananda   Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. •Joe Paterno   Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits. •Robert Louis Stevenson   Failures are like skinned knees -- painful, but superficial. •H. Ross Perot   I cannot give the formula for success, but I can give you the formula of failure -- which is try to please everybody. •Herbert B. Swope   Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street. •Zig Ziglar  A proud heart can survive a general failure because such a failure does not prick its pride.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inventory is definitely moving up there, but we're still in the middle of a seller's market.

The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to tender the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God -- and be content to have it so -- that is the danger: that some day we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with husks and trappings of life and have really missed life itself. For life without God, to one who has known the richness and joy of life with Him, is unthinkable, impossible. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared -- satisfaction with a life that falls short of the best, that has in it no tingle or thrill that comes from a friendship with the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prince Charles and his son William worked off their Christmas dinner yesterday by trying to blast some small furry creatures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prince Charles and his son William worked off their Christmas dinner yesterday by trying to blast some small furry creatures to pieces.http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bells call others, but themselves enter not into the Church. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4108]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bells call others, but themselves enter not into the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12995]]></link><description><![CDATA[I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our myriad-minded Shakespeare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our myriad-minded Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genetics explain why you look like your father, and if you don't, why you should. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genetics explain why you look like your father, and if you don't, why you should.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You undergo too strict a paradox, Striving to make an ugly deed look fair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45489]]></link><description><![CDATA[You undergo too strict a paradox, Striving to make an ugly deed look fair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[FINANCE, n.
