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.

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[The most confused we ever get is when we're trying to convince our heads of something our heart knows is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65526]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most confused we ever get is when we're trying to convince our heads of something our heart knows is a lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hungry man, an angry man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50959]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hungry man, an angry man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou troublest me; I am not in the vein. -King Richard III.

When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The leader who exercises power with honor will work from the inside out, starting with himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24429]]></link><description><![CDATA[The leader who exercises power with honor will work from the inside out, starting with himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye waves That o'er th' interminable ocean wreathe  Your crisped smiles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44870]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye waves That o'er th' interminable ocean wreathe  Your crisped smiles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Count your age with friends but not with years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Count your age with friends but not with years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the 1990s we had difficulty getting kids home from school, ...
