They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities. On the other hand, the real "have nots" are they who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[the most important win of my career. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29590]]></link><description><![CDATA[the most important win of my career.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment? that parchment, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55987]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment? that parchment, being scribbled o'er, should undo a man? -King Henry VI.

She was in the habit of waking them early in the morning, at cockcrow. The maidens, aggravated by such excessive labor, resolved to kill the cock who roused their mistress so early. When they had done this, they found that they had only prepared for themselves greater troubles, for their mistress, no longer hearing the hour from the cock, woke them up to their work in the middle of the night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character matters; leadership descends from character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character matters; leadership descends from character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Jews would not willingly tread upon the smallest piece of paper in their way, but took it up; for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8239]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Jews would not willingly tread upon the smallest piece of paper in their way, but took it up; for possibly, they say, the name of God may be on it. Though there was a little superstition in this, yet truly there is nothing but good religion in it, if we apply it to men. Trample not on any; there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of. The name of God may be written upon that soul thou treadest on; it may be a soul that Christ thought so much of, as to give His precious blood for it; therefore despise it not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The crime bill passed by the Senate would reinstate the Federal death penalty for certain violent crimes: assassinating the President; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47271]]></link><description><![CDATA[The crime bill passed by the Senate would reinstate the Federal death penalty for certain violent crimes: assassinating the President; hijacking an airliner; and murdering a government poultry inspector.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever turns away from truth perishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever turns away from truth perishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will scarce think you have swam in a gondola. -As You Like It.

He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They sing, they will pay. [Fr., Ils chantent, ils payeront.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56461]]></link><description><![CDATA[They sing, they will pay. [Fr., Ils chantent, ils payeront.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All television is children's television. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27709]]></link><description><![CDATA[All television is children's television.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The path you had chosen, may not be the right time for you.
