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[Love is the silent saying and saying of a single name. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the silent saying and saying of a single name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon it's real money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42968]]></link><description><![CDATA[A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon it's real money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hail, guest, we ask not what thou art; If friend, we greet thee, hand and heart;  If stranger, such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hail, guest, we ask not what thou art; If friend, we greet thee, hand and heart;  If stranger, such no longer be;   If foe, our love shall conquer thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At times, it's hard to practice against him because he's relentless for the offense to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32767]]></link><description><![CDATA[At times, it's hard to practice against him because he's relentless for the offense to win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Method is the very hinge of business, and there is no method without punctuality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Method is the very hinge of business, and there is no method without punctuality]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That knuckle-end of England--that land of Calvin, oat-cakes, and sulphur. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54895]]></link><description><![CDATA[That knuckle-end of England--that land of Calvin, oat-cakes, and sulphur.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No more of that, Hal, an thou lovest me! -King Henry IV.
