Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She has deceived her father, and may thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51436]]></link><description><![CDATA[She has deceived her father, and may thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I used to believe that anything was better than nothing.

It is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. Ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. Science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We got frustrated.
