The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great put the little on the hooke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49863]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great put the little on the hooke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fighter has to know fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44340]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fighter has to know fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I did feel a friendship with him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30351]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I did feel a friendship with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cure for anything is salt water -- sweat, tears, or the sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61311]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cure for anything is salt water -- sweat, tears, or the sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody's business is nobody's business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody's business is nobody's business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46388]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew coming in that in order for us to win this game, we would have to get rebounds, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28891]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew coming in that in order for us to win this game, we would have to get rebounds, and to hold the ball on offense.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[High finance isn't burglary or obtaining money by false pretenses, but rather a judicious selection from the best features of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15694]]></link><description><![CDATA[High finance isn't burglary or obtaining money by false pretenses, but rather a judicious selection from the best features of those fine arts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11122]]></link><description><![CDATA[My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.
