In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64559]]></link><description><![CDATA[As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This has been a Benny Goodman-type market, ... lots of swing, and it's very, very difficult to get a handle ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28647]]></link><description><![CDATA[This has been a Benny Goodman-type market, ... lots of swing, and it's very, very difficult to get a handle on long-term positioning when the market is moving up and down so rapidly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

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[An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45185]]></link><description><![CDATA[An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. . .
