The goals you set for yourselfand the strategies you choose become your blueprint or plan. Strategiesare like recipes: choose the right ingredients, mix them in the correctproportions, and you will always produce the same predictable results: inthis case financial success. The success strategies for managing money andbuilding wealth are called Money Strategies. By learning to use moneystrategies as a part of your day-to-day life, financial frustration andfailure will become a thing of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every child is an artist.

The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to tender the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God -- and be content to have it so -- that is the danger: that some day we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with husks and trappings of life and have really missed life itself. For life without God, to one who has known the richness and joy of life with Him, is unthinkable, impossible. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared -- satisfaction with a life that falls short of the best, that has in it no tingle or thrill that comes from a friendship with the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What though the sea be calm? trust to the shore, Ships have been drown'd, where late they danc'd before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44000]]></link><description><![CDATA[What though the sea be calm? trust to the shore, Ships have been drown'd, where late they danc'd before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are born equal but they are also born different. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are born equal but they are also born different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment.
