Bergson   Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out . . . People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts. •Eleanor H. Porter   The bigger a man's head gets, the easier it is to fill his shoes. •Henry Courtney   A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us. •Ralph Waldo Emerson   Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind. •Leonardo Da Vinci   A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye. •Carolyn Wells   Craftiness is a quality in the mind and a vice in the character. •S.

This power becomes available to you just as you can change your beliefs. •Maxwell Maltz  Some minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set. •Source Unknown   The mind is a dangerous weapon, even to the possessor, if he knows not discreetly how to use it. •Michel de Montaigne  If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. •Lyall Watson  Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace. •Elbert Hubbard  The mind has exactly the same power as the hands: not merely to grasp the world, but to change it. •Colin Wilson   Mind unemployed is mind unenjoyed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46729]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I woke at intervals until . . . the intervals of waking tipped the scales, and I was more often ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61083]]></link><description><![CDATA[I woke at intervals until . . . the intervals of waking tipped the scales, and I was more often awake than not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ignorance of impending evil is far better than a knowledge of its approach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ignorance of impending evil is far better than a knowledge of its approach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mystery is at the heart of creativity.

They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ears that gape after secrets retain not faithfully what is entrusted to them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50339]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ears that gape after secrets retain not faithfully what is entrusted to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30715]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I not only use all the brains I have, but all that I can borrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27527]]></link><description><![CDATA[I not only use all the brains I have, but all that I can borrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lisa took the game on her back in the second half for us.
