Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of inadequacy and impotence. We cannot win the weak by sharing our wealth with them. They feel our generosity as oppression.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With stores being built all around you reducing your sales and reducing your profit, you've got very little chance of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33637]]></link><description><![CDATA[With stores being built all around you reducing your sales and reducing your profit, you've got very little chance of working for 15 or 20 years and walking away with anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector.
