Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O God, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4408]]></link><description><![CDATA[O God, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We really looked up to Jamie and Justin, because they paved the way for us as the up-and-coming U.S. team. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29993]]></link><description><![CDATA[We really looked up to Jamie and Justin, because they paved the way for us as the up-and-coming U.S. team.

Just in the same way, dogmas and creeds cannot bring Christian unity, because human minds are not so uniformly created that they can unite in a single dogma or creed. Even our understanding of Christ Himself cannot be the basis of unity, because He is too big to be understood by any one person or group, and therefore our limited understandings do not always coincide. One emphasizes this point about Christ, another that; and this again becomes the cause of divisions. If we will only take our fellowship with Christ as the center of Christian faith, all Christians will realize their oneness... All our fellowship, however varied, is with the same Lord, and the same Saviour is our one Head.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An Atheist's laugh's a poor exchange For Deity offended! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53468]]></link><description><![CDATA[An Atheist's laugh's a poor exchange For Deity offended!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46024]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him. [Fr., Qu'on me donne six lignes ecrites de la main du plus honnete homme, j'y trouverai de quoi le faire pendre.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/492]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, butWorld War IV will be fought with sticks ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45982]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, butWorld War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Bellenden we needs must praise, Who as down the stairs she jumps  Sings o'er the hill and far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43421]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Bellenden we needs must praise, Who as down the stairs she jumps  Sings o'er the hill and far away,   Despising doleful dumps.   - Unattributed Author,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The deafe gaines the injury. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49828]]></link><description><![CDATA[The deafe gaines the injury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will be served must bee patient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49407]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will be served must bee patient.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the strongest characteristics of genius is the power of lighting its own fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17335]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the strongest characteristics of genius is the power of lighting its own fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life would be tolerable but for its amusements. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public is a lot more forgiving of people with true problems.
