For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? •Jean Cocteau  Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. •Lily Tomlin  The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you. •Nancy Astor  For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself. •Rita Mae Brown  Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. •Mark Twain  The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already. •J.N. Fadenburg   Make a success of living by seeing the goal and aiming for it unswervingly. •Cecil B. Demille  I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. •Abraham Lincoln  The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made. •Groucho Marx  Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very pleasing to have qualified. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30668]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's very pleasing to have qualified.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moments of complete apathy are the best for new creations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moments of complete apathy are the best for new creations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The market is in a wait-and-see mode.

It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3620]]></link><description><![CDATA[A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5125]]></link><description><![CDATA[And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From what we've been seeing tonight, we'll definitely do it again.

Everywhere the man who, so far as he comprehends Jesus Christ, so far as he can get any knowledge of Him, is His servant -- the man who makes Christ a teacher of his intelligence and the guide of his soul -- the man who obeys Christ as far as he has been able to understand him... I would know any man as a Christian, would rejoice to know any man as a Christian, whom Jesus would recognize as a Christian; and Jesus Christ, I am sure, in these old days recognized His followers even if they came after Him with the blindest sight, with the most imperfect recognition and acknowledgment of what He was and of what He could do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live With Regis and Kelly.
