They are more willing to follow their own vision, even when it takes them far from the mainland of the human community. Unexplored places do not frighten them- or not, at any rate, as much as they frighten those around them. This is one of the secrets of their power. That which we call "genius" has a great deal to do with courage and daring, a great deal to do with nerve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52109</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[There is no sign of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36635]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no sign of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["And now, Madam," I addressed her, "we shall try who shall get the breeches." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61931]]></link><description><![CDATA["And now, Madam," I addressed her, "we shall try who shall get the breeches."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44343]]></link><description><![CDATA[I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got the first generation of significantly educated people.

When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45625]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My security team monitors just about everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34180]]></link><description><![CDATA[My security team monitors just about everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is futile for an artist to try to create an environment because you have an environment around you all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30983]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is futile for an artist to try to create an environment because you have an environment around you all the time.
