They become responsive to grandiose schemes, and will display unequaled steadfastness, formidable energies and a special fitness in the performance of tasks which would stump superior people. It seems paradoxical that defeat in dealing with the possible should embolden people to attempt the impossible, but a familiarity with the mentality of the weak reveals that what seems a path of daring is actually an easy way out: It is to escape the responsibility for failure that the weak so eagerly throw themselves into grandiose undertakings. For when we fail in attaining the impossible we are justified in attributing it to the magnitude of the task.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thirty is not an age for a woman anymore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thirty is not an age for a woman anymore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21310]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, and then help that best into the fullest expression.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We figured it's about time we tried to put on a really good show.

Failure on this part should mean failure on the whole exam. It is absolutely disgraceful that we expect missionaries to the Bantus to learn Bantu, but never ask whether our missionaries to the Americans or English can speak American or English. Any fool can write learned language: the vernacular is the real test.
