For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a major disaster when a person allows some success to become a stopping place rather than a way ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6367]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a major disaster when a person allows some success to become a stopping place rather than a way station on to a larger goal.
