Wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. Virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture -- in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chance makes our parents, but choice makes our friends ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chance makes our parents, but choice makes our friends]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe at once in evil, we only believe in good upon reflection.
